Problem in installing WxPYthon in windows 7 64 bit machine, installing 32 bit software.

After much search i choose WxPython as GUI library. I download it from here.

When i tried to install it, it showed

wxpython error

You would note in the Folder, it has set value , which is not just one location but many locations.

On clicking next it gives error that folder path can not have ; special characters.

When i gave it a path, it proceeds but again, it gives me an error . : enter image description here

And then i have to abort it.

I tried it with unicode wxpython only but with both release and development versions. Both failed at the same problem.

What should i do ?

What should i do ?

I don't see any images on this post, so I have to guess.

Have you installed Python?

I would suggest you install:
- Python 2.7.5 - 32 bit version
- wxPython for Python 2.7 - 32 bit version

at that point you should be able to do:

c:\python27\python.exe
this starts Python and then you can do:

import wx
at this point you have wxPython loaded.

I also suggest that you install the wxPython demo, it shows you all the available widgets and is a great learning tool.

I can see the images in the Google groups view at least…and he posted the same question on StackOverflow here: python - WxPython GUI library installation error - Stack Overflow

It’s definitely an odd error. But checking that you have matching Python and wxPython is definitely a good step that I forgot to mention on SO.

Although I don’t know how the path got screwed up, the short
workaround here is to fix the path in that first dialog. The
correct location is the final one (the one that ends in
site-packages).

The initial value for the base Python path comes from the registry, using InnoSetup (pascal) code like:

RegQueryStringValue(HKEY_CURRENT_USER,
          'Software\Python\PythonCore\%(PYTHONVER)s\InstallPath',
          '', PythonDir)

and also checks the other locations for HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE and 64bit varieties. So I would guess that his Python registry values were messed up.
