error with wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.7.1-py25.exe

[Emmanuel]

I recently upgraded wxpython (and python) on XP using wxPython2.8-
win32-unicode-2.8.7.1-py25.exe

Now when I run

from wxPython.wx import *

It crashes :

-import _wx
...

from _misc import *

....

--456 wxDateTime_GetNumberOfDaysinYear =
wx._misc.DateTime_GetNumberOfDaysinYear

....

AtributeError: 'module' object has no atribute
'DateTime_GetNumberOfDaysinYear'

Is it a known problem or is there something wrong only on my side?

I switched back to wxPython2.6 and with wxPython2.6-win32-
unicode-2.6.4.0-py25.exe
this problem mentionned eariler does not occur.

On my win2k with 2.8.4.0 I got:

>>from wxPython.wx import *

Warning (from warnings module):
File "__main__", line 1
DeprecationWarning: The wxPython compatibility package is no longer
automatically generated or actively maintained. Please switch to the wx
package as soon as possible.

I suggest you to try

>>from wx import *

or better

>>import wx

(I don't think that importing everything is a good choice)

The newer versions of wx are not supposed to be imported in this way:

from wx import *

The current correct way is to just import wx. I am not sure when this
was started, but it was more than a year ago.

Most of the time, from package import * is NOT recommended as it can
unintended consequences, such as poisoning the namespace. For example,
if you did this with a package that contained an object called "foo"
and you did this:

foo = 2

Then you just reassigned the foo that was imported.
