wxPython import error

Question

I\'m having trouble figuring out an error message in Python.

yesterday, I\'ve installed python using the latest EPD package, and wxPython2.9 using the wxPython2.9-osx-co

Answer 1

this link helped me https://support.enthought.com/entries/22601196-wxPython-2-8-and-2-9

Here's how I fixed the problem, which I hope will be useful for others in future

1. In Terminal: gedit Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/lib/python2.7/site-packages/matplotlib/mpl-data/matplotlibrc

2. Edit the line "backend : WXAgg" into "backend : QtAgg"

3. Save and exit

Answer 2

I've solved this on Windows by looking in the site packages folder in the python library. In there, there should be another folder titled site-packages. In this subfolder, there is the wxversion library. If you copy this library into the Lib folder in python, this import error should be averted.

Answer 3

I've solved with this:

defaults write com.apple.versioner.python Prefer-32-Bit -bool yes

Answer 4

Select your wx version before importing any wx modules

import wxversion
wxversion.select('2.8')

The above code should come before import wx

Answer 5

sudo apt-get install python-wxtools

Install it. Worked for me.

Answer 6

I solved this by setting the backend to MacOSX in ~/.matplotlib/matplotlibrc:

backend : MacOSX
