iPodder: ImportError: No module named wx
 

hi i just installed iPodder and this is what i get when i try to start it up.

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "iPodderGui.py", line 18, in ?
import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

im not sure what this means. This is my guess. It is trying to call upon wxPython for the gui and all it would take is to install wxPython to get it to start or is there something else id have to do? Thanks for any replies in advance.

ok i found out that i was getting that error message because of a failed dependency but now i get some new and fun output while trying to start iPodder. here it is:

here is the output of my rpm -qa | grep py if it helps at all.

any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance.

What was the dependency issue that you solved when you got:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "iPodderGui.py", line 18, in ?
import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

I am getting a similiar message:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "iPodderGui.py", line 18, in ?

How did you get rid of it? I know that this doesn't help you but I will let you know the solution if I find it!

donk

the packages in the above list in my post with fc2 in them

Thanks. I'll go through all my packages and make sure I have them all installed - I'm pretty sure that I have.

Been searching for the solution - looks like a lot of people are having problem with iPodder - but I haven't yet found the solution.

All the best

donk :-)

Donk,

Did you ever work this out. I'm getting a similar "import wx" message trying to run iPodder on Suse 9.1.

Thanks.

No I gave up and downloaded BashPodder at http://linc.homeunix.org:8080/scripts/bashpodder/

In the 'EXTRAS' section there are some BashPodder GUIs if you need them; I don't need a GUI and I love the simplicity of the script - it's just 44 lines long!
