    wxPython problem

    I'm a little confused. I installed wxPython on my Thinkpad T23, on
    which I'm running Fedora Core 5. I did it using Yum and Yumex, and
    everything installed fine. In fact, I now have PyShell and PyCrust in
    my applications. Within those two apps I can use wx as a module. But
    from the bash shell, when I use the same old Python interpreter, I
    can't use the wx module. It's there, under
    /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode/ (under that
    directory there are several directories: wx, wxPython). I don't know
    what to do now. Do I need to move the wx directory up directly under
    the site-packages directory?

    Please help, thanks...

      Any chance that there is a python 2.3 interpreter running on the
      command-line? Debian for example has python2.4 & python2.3, and the latter
      is set as default. So try starting

      python2.4

          No, it's python2.4. It says there's no module wx...hmm.

              What I'm wondering is, perhaps it has something to do with the wx.pth
              file? I can't seem to find anything in the documentation about what the
              path should be, which file it should be pointing to.

                  Mine has this in it:

                  wx-2.6-msw-unicode

                  this points to a subdirectory of the site-packages directory. Mine
                  looks like this:

                  D:\Programs\Pyt hon\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.6-msw-unicode\wx
                  D:\Programs\Pyt hon\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.6-msw-unicode\wxPytho n

                  My understanding is that the wx.pth adds to the Python path. So, this
                  directory in your system:

                  site-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode

                  is searched automatically. From there, you need to import wx or
                  wxPython, then access using "wx." or "wxPython."
