Import string error on Boa Constructor after installing wxgtk 2.4.0.2

Hi all,

I am running Python 2.2 with wxPython and Boa to develop a system. Last
night I installed the new version of wxGTK (version 2.4.0.2-1) via RPM
on a Redhat 8.0 system.

I was running Boa 1.5, but after installation of this new wxGTK version
I got the error "Global name 'string' not defined", and it aborts. The
problem remains the same after installation of version 0.2.0 of Boa.

It looks like a bug in wxGTK. Anybody any ideas?

Dear Dick,

Have a look on the Boa forums, there are a few messages in the Open Discussion forum about this. If I understand correctly wxPython has changed which causes a problem for Boa - it assumed that wxPython imports string.

See you
Werner
