wxpython on cygwin for drPython - ImportError: No module named _core_

[Stephane Roy]

Hi,

Did someone installed and used successfully drPython on Cygwin? The
installation requires
wxpython. I tried many different alternatives (source, binary, etc) but so
far the best I get is the following.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "drpython.py", line 45, in ?
import wx, wx.stc
File "/lib/python2.4/Lib/site-packages/wx-2.6-msw-unicode/wx/__init__.py",
line 42, in ?
from wx._core import *
File "/lib/python2.4/Lib/site-packages/wx-2.6-msw-unicode/wx/_core.py",
line 4, in ?
import _core_
ImportError: No module named _core_

Thanks in advance
Stéphane

Don't take life too seriously, you won't get out of it alive!

Hm, I suspect, the demo is also not working(?)

Apparantly a problem of installing wxPython.
I saw once one posting in the wxpython-user mailing list.
You could try to ask there.

Sorry for not having a better answer.

This might not be a direct help either, but have you considered running
the native windows python out of cygwin? I used to have the python that
comes with the cygwin installation, but ran several times into problems
with GUI base applications.

What I am doing now is have all python stuff installed as native windows
install and set the path accordingly so that I can call the interpreter
from the cygwin command line.

There might be some short comings with this way I haven't thought about
or ran into yet, but so far (for two years) I haven't run into any
problems with that.

Using this way I have developed some small GUI applications with wxPython.
