Iron Python error when importing wx

wxPython Users

I’m getting the following error with Iron Python 2.7.3 and wxPython2.8-win64-unicode-2.8.12.1-py27

import wx
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in
File “E:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx_init_.py”, line 45, in
File “E:\Program Files (x86)\IronPython 2.7\lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx_core.py”, line 4, in
ImportError: No module named core

I’ve no idea how to fix it though, any help would be appreciated.

unless someone has done a lot of work, wx is not expected to work with
Iron Python -- it's very much tied to CPython.

I suspect you are stuck with .net GUI toolkits for IronPython,
probably only the MS one -- though maybe GTK with mono....

IronPython runs in the .NET environment and imports are expected to be either Python code or .NET assemblies.

OTOH, wxPython is written for CPython and the _core_ module is compiled C code packaged as a DLL. Very different.
