This is a good reason why you shouldn't share pure Python libraries between different versions (which I have just realised that a couple of my projects are still doing, explaining some extended timings I'd been wondering about - great question!) regards Steve -- Steve Holden +44 150 684 7255 +1 800 494 3119 Holden Web LLC/Ltd http://www.holdenweb.com Skype: holdenweb http://del.icio.us/steve.holden Blog of Note: http://holdenweb.blogspot.com See you at PyCon? http://us.pycon.org/TX2007 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

If you're going to try the copy technique (never tried it) , you also need to copy wx.pth and wxversion.py. hg -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

I'm using Ubuntu Edgy, with Python 2.4 installed (from apt), and wx-2.6. I can find the libraries in /usr/lib/python2.4/wx-2.6-gtk-unicode/ Check to see if you have wx installed in /usr/lib/python2.5 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
wxPython libraries never detected
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. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
