That's pretty core to wx, and shoudl hvae been installed with it.

What OS
How did you install Python, and what exact version?
How did you install wx?
What and how are you running your test code?

It's a good idea to keep these conversations on-list:

thanks for your response
I use window 7
I installed python 2.7 and used the window wizard to install it i also
installed wxpython version for python 2.7 (unicode)
I tried running my code using python idle, it read error i then used
eclipse(pydev)and it did not work still. thanks and waiting for your
reply

any chance you have more than one python installed, and IDLE and
Eclipse are using teh wrong one?

I"d look at C: and see if there is more than one, it's usaully
installed in C:python2.7

also, to remove a possible issue, try running python straight from the
command line (DOS prompt):

python2.7

or maybe:

c:\python2.7\bin\python.exe

if that fails, try a re-install -- who knows?
