wxPython demo Bind error on debian

[John Kinson]

Hi,

I'm trying to get the wxPython demo to run on a Debian sarge testing
installation, but encounter the following error when I run the demo script:

# ./demo.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./demo.py", line 4, in ?
Main.main()
File "/root/Python/wxPython-2.5.1.5/demo/Main.py", line 946, in main
app = MyApp(0) ##wx.Platform == "__WXMAC__")
File "/usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wxPython/wx.py", line 1951, in
__init__
_wxStart(self.OnInit)
File "/root/Python/wxPython-2.5.1.5/demo/Main.py", line 931, in OnInit
splash = MySplashScreen()
File "/root/Python/wxPython-2.5.1.5/demo/Main.py", line 907, in __init__
self.Bind(wx.EVT_CLOSE, self.OnClose)
AttributeError: MySplashScreen instance has no attribute 'Bind'

I installed wxPython using:

apt-get install libwxgtk2.4-python

and am running python2.3.4.

Trying to invoke any one of the individual demos encounters the same error.

Running my own sample app works, however.

The full list of python modules installed is as follows:

# apt-show-versions | grep -i python
python2.3-gtk2/testing uptodate 2.2.0-1
idle-python2.3/testing uptodate 2.3.4-2

Anyone got any ideas? I'm just starting out with wxPython...

Cheers

Got to have Wxpython 2.5 - which breaks other stuff. Use the old demo.
