Generally  package names in the site-packages folder are intended to be imported using the exact name of the module or subfolder   If my site-packages folder has a subfolder named  foobar   I would import that package by typing import foobar   One solution might be to rename site-packages wx-2 8-msw-unicode to site-packages wx   Or you could add C  Python27 Lib site-packages wx-2 8-msw-unicode to your PYTHONPATH environment variable

I too face the same problem  I like to share which I was faced so it can be helpful for anyone  In my case I have installed both python2  7 and python3  and tested the application in python3 after some analysis I used     pip show wxpython-common     to find the location of wx which was in       usr lib python2 7 dist-packages   so i understood in my case wx will work only in python2 7 environment

I had the same error today but I tried something and surprisingly it worked  In the site packages folder there will be a file named wx pth  Open it using notepad and its contents would be like  wx-2 8-msw-unicode   It is basically the name of the folder containing wxpython  Delete this using Ctrl   A and copy the name of the folder from the site packages and paste it here even if it is the same    Sounds weird but maybe the original file contained a hidden character

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
