Python Programming Language :: Python 2.5 and WXPython demo's


	Python 2.5 and WXPython demo's Hello, I am new (very) to Python and have just down loaded the latest version of Python (2.5) and WXPython (2.8). For some reason I cannot get the WXPython demo to run at all. I run windows XP and it can't find a program to run the demo. Any advice? (apologies if this has been posted before).

Do you mean you just can't find it, or are you running it and does it give you some error message that you feel we shouldn't be told about?

I'm quite positive, but not 100% sure. I think it has the snake-icon. But if it's really not there (as you suggested), simply go the the folder you installed the demo to and run demo.py. Maybe there's a blunder in the installer for the 2.8 demo? Anyone? bye /W - Hide quoted text - Wildemar Wildenburger wrote: > Andrew P wrote: >> Hello, >> I am new (very) to Python and have just down loaded the latest version >> of Python (2.5) and WXPython (2.8). >> For some reason I cannot get the WXPython demo to run at all.

Can't answer that, but on one from two (almost identical) PC's, I had trouble too, the other went fluently. On both PC's, there was an older wxPython (2.6 I believe), (which from what I've read should be no problem at all), which wasn't overruled, by some specific file (wx.pth) to point to the newest. The effect is that the demo tries to run, can't find aiw?? or something like that and crashes (on fast PC's you actually just see a dos box flashing). Editing the wx.pth file solved the problem. cheers, Stef Mientki On May 30, 7:29 am, stef <s.mien@id.umcn.nl> wrote: - Hide quoted text - > Wildemar Wildenburger wrote: > > Andrew P wrote: > >> Hello, > >> I am new (very) to Python and have just down loaded the latest version > >> of Python (2.5) and WXPython (2.8). > >> For some reason I cannot get the WXPython demo to run at all.

I did have some minor problems choosing which version I wanted to run with my scripts, but that has nothing to do with the demo.

Thanks Andrew.
