  • Would just try to do a normal wxPython install - i.e. download the exe installer which corresponds to the Python version you are using. I use WingIDE and it didn't need anything special to use wxPython in the code, however it has some helpers to have code completion working for wxPython stuff. – Werner Oct 06 '14 at 12:03
  • I do not know if/which Python gets installed by default if you use VS/Python Tools. If it is IronPython, you will not be able to run wxPython (requires CPython instead). – nepix32 Oct 06 '14 at 12:45
  • I use CPython and I did install wxPython on the normal python, but it still doesn't let me import it – TulkinRB Oct 06 '14 at 13:20
  • You can check the following: Did you select `Make this the default wxPython` in the installer? Are both wxPython and CPython 32 bit or 64 bit (for practical purposes you can always use the 32-bit versions, even if you are on a 64 bit system without performance penalty). Is there more than one python on the system and did it get installed into the other one? – nepix32 Oct 06 '14 at 13:38
  • I actually didn't select Make this the default wxPython, I didn't know what it means... I've reinstalled wxpython now and it works fine, Thanks! – TulkinRB Oct 06 '14 at 14:06
  • For a detailed explanation see [Link](http://wiki.wxpython.org/MultiVersionInstalls). In a nutshell: If you did not instruct the installer to make this install the default wxPython, you have to import wxversion first and select the installed version. – nepix32 Oct 06 '14 at 14:10
