I am trying to install wxPython on my Ubuntu 12.10 but with no success. I have gone through all the answers given on this website. Can someone please help me in this or point me in the right direction.

Initially, I tried http://wxpython.org/BUILD.html but then I came to know that it is in the repository, I ran "sudo apt-get install install python-wxgtk2.8", it installed without any error but then, when I run it, it is still unavailable. I guess I am doing something in the running step.

Also, although it is working in Eclipse using PyDev, but I am getting this warning " LIBDBUSMENU-GLIB-WARNING **: Trying to remove a child that doesn't believe we're it's parent."" after I close the application and the status bar is also not working,

Here is my code:

import wxclass naman(wx.Frame):def __init__(self,parent,id):  # @ReservedAssignmentwx.Frame.__init__(self,parent,id,'Frame aka Window', size=(300,200))panel=wx.Panel(self)statusbar=self.CreateStatusBar()menubar=wx.MenuBar()first=wx.Menu()second=wx.Menu()first.Append(wx.NewId(),"New Window", "This opens a new window")first.Append(wx.NewId(),"Open...", "This will open")second.Append(wx.NewId(),"Undo", "This will undo")second.Append(wx.NewId(),"Redo", "This will redo")menubar.Append(first,"File")menubar.Append(second,"Edit")self.SetMenuBar(menubar)if __name__=='__main__':app=wx.PySimpleApp()frame=naman(parent=None,id=-1)frame.Show()app.MainLoop()

If someone can tell why I am getting this warning and why status bar is not working, that would be great too!! Then, I can continue working in eclipse itself and don't bother about wxPython.

PS: I have Python2.7 and Python3.3 already installed.

Thanks in advance.

You need to install wxPython Phoenix, not 2.8. The 2.8 series and the 2.9 Classic series are only Python 2.x compatible. You'll have to grab a Phoenix snapshot to build against as it is the only version that is Python 3 compatible. You can get one here:

• http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/

Note that Phoenix is very beta in that it only supports the core widgets currently. Most of the custom widgets, like those in wx.lib, are still being ported. See http://wiki.wxpython.org/ProjectPhoenix for more information.
