"import wxPython"-error

[YarrOfDoom]

I just installed wxPython on my computer (Windows "fails-a-lot" Vista, 32bit, Python 2.6, PIL and pyOpenGL installed).

However, when I try to import the wxPython module, I get this:

>>> import wxPython
 
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#0>", line 1, in <module>
    import wxPython
  File "C:\Python26\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-ansi\wxPython\__init__.py", line 7, in <module>
    DeprecationWarning, stacklevel=2)
  File "C:\Python26\lib\warnings.py", line 29, in _show_warning
    file.write(formatwarning(message, category, filename, lineno, line))
TypeError: idle_formatwarning_subproc() takes exactly 4 arguments (5 given)

What could possibly be wrong?

My Guess is that the error is caused due to the incompatible versions of the pre-requisties and the WX python installed. I have faced similar kind of problems on my linux box give it a try with a different combinations of the installers

Oops, stupid me. Should have been import wx instead of import wxPython, works all fine now.

Is this your first look at wx? I looked into a little bit of that a few months ago. It's pretty cool, and relatively easy to pick up. I have good tutorials if you need any. I won't post them here, but if you'd like some PM me.
