Newbie question: how to get wx module installed for program requiring wx module and wx.grid?

Hi,

I manage to install GanttPV0.8 (since a faw weeks ...)
http://www.pureviolet.net/ganttpv/help/download.html
on ToutouLinux 03.01.4 (french translation of PuppyLinux)

GanttPV has been succesfully installed.
running it by moving to folder ganttpv and typing python ganttPV.py returns an error message telling:

wx, wx.grid not found
ImportError no module wx found

The GanttPV, Puppy and ToutouLinux forums answered "wxPython has to be installes.
(Python 2.4 is already integrated with ToutouLinux)
I tried first to install wxPython with succes except that a lot ig dependencies were missing. Then I tried to install dependencies which operation resulted in a black display and the (maybe) necessity to reinstall ToutouLinux [ here I am remenbering the beginning of the instauction for installation of wxPython "You are supposed to know what you are doing..." ...I was not! :-)) ]

Those given instructions tell about INSTALL.txt and BUILD.txt. That looks very complicated to me. I wonder what should be the minimal installation of wxPython to get GanttPV working, that is to say to get the wx module so installed that GanttPV could find the wx modulme and wx.grid.

Many thenks in advance for answering.

Kind regards

Charlie

I've never used Puppy or even heard of it, but Google has some links on this sort of thing. This one looked the most promising to me:

Basically, you'll want to use Puppy's package manager (apt, yum or whatever) and have it look for "wx" or "wxPython". It may be called wxGTK or some such. Anyway, once you find it, install it with you manager as it will download the dependencies for you. Otherwise you'll have to do it all yourself by following the build instructions here: Redirecting...

Unfortunately, I'm mainly a Windows nerd, so you'll have to hope for some of the Linux gurus to come along if this answer doesn't work for you.
