“import wx” fails after installation of wxPython on Windows XP

Question

I downloaded and installed this version of wxPython for use with my Python 2.6 installation:

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.

Answer 1

Maybe too late, but I had the same problem and solved that by downloading that from their own website : wxPython2.8-win64-unicode-py27 In my case it initially wanted to setup in somewhere else than my python folder. So I changed it to be in ../python27/Lib/SitePackages/ Then it worked properly.

I hope it helps.
