“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

Another late answer, but I recently had issues (8/14) and my solution was to use the 32-bit instead of 64-bit wxPython version.
