pip show wxpython-common

Answer 3

I had the same problem for a PyMOL plugin that required the wx module, though I installed wxpython by downloading its package from here (Unofficial Windows Binaries for Python Extension Packages) and installing it with the command:

pip install .\wxPython-3.0.2.0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl

For some reason it gave me that error, for which I uninstalled it with:

pip uninstall wxPython

and then I downloaded it from here (wxPython 4.0.0a1) and reinstalled:

pip install .\wxPython-4.0.0a1-cp27-cp27m-win_amd64.whl

The error at this point has not been presented anymore.
