Im sorry to ask this question again. I have searched and found endles repeats of it both on stackoverflow and also on general google search. Unfortunatly I just cant get my system sorted.
I have the following:
C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode
this folder contains the wx folder and also wx & wxPython folders which each contain the
_init_.py
files
When I import wx I get the error message "no module named wx"
What do I need to do in order to get Python to find the relevant files to allow me to "import wx" succesfully
This question is related to
python

wxwidgets
Download the .whl file from this link.
The name of the file is:
wxPython-3.0.2.0-cp27-none-win32.whl
for Windows 32 bit and python 2.7 and
wxPython-3.0.2.0-cp27-none-win_amd64.whl
for Windows 64 bit and python 2.7.
Then in the command prompt: pip install location-of-the-above-saved-file
This worked for me
pip install --user -U wxPython
Windows:
Go to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\
find the folder wx-<version>-msw
or similar
Move the wx
from the above folder to C:\Python27\Lib\site-packages\
If you do not have wx installed on windows you can use :
pip install wx
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...
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.
Make sure you choose the right project intepreter in the compiler. I used the Pycharm, and I encountered the same problem. And it was solved by choose the right intepreter. Thisvideo may help you.
In fedora you can use following command to install wx
pip install -U \
-f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-16.04 \
wxPython
Just open your terminal and run this command thats for windows users
pip install -U wxPython
for Ubuntu user you can use this
pip install -U \
-f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-16.04 \
wxPython
I restart the IDLE and works for me!
You may check if you have the directory where are the packages of Python (in my machine, this dir is C:\Python27\lib\site-packages) in the Path variable on Windows. If Python's path environment variable does not have this directory, you will not find the packages.
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
Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install python-wxtools
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.
I'm on 64-bit Windows 7 and went to:
Then downloaded the exe for my system, installed it, and it worked for me.
