wxPython libraries never detected

[d . lidell]

Hi, I recently started coding with Python and I've been trying for the
past hour or so to determine why, every time I import wx (or compile
another piece of code that imports wx), Python can never find the
libraries.

I'm running Ubuntu Edgy 6.10, and, as per 
http://www.wxpython.org/download.php#sources,
updated sources.list with the sources and installed python-wxgtk2.8,
python-wxtools and wx2.8-i18n. I compiled the latest Python (as of
writing), 2.5, from source.

For example, SPE tells me that I need to install at least wxPython v.
2.5.4.1 to run SPE and any code that relies on import wx reports
ImportError: No module named wx. However, whereis wx on the
command line reports wx: /usr/lib/wx /usr/local/lib/wx /usr/include/
wx. What could be wrong here? I can't figure out why wx isn't being
detected.

Many thanks.

Ah, now I see. But I have a new problem:

ls /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages | grep wx-2.8 returns wx-2.8-
gtk2-unicode

I copied wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/,
which I assume the programs I am attempting to compile and run are
using by default, but they still do not find the libraries. How can I
tell where the programs are searching for the libraries?

Thanks.
