Problem installing wxPython 2.8 on OSX

wxPython Users

I'm just now using a Mac (OSX ) for the first time.

I've verified that I have Python 2.7.1 installed (via Macports)
I've downloaded the installer for wxPython 2.8 unicode for Python 2.7.

"Run postflight script for wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-universal-py2.7"
is displayed.

I have no idea why the installation failed.

Are there any Mac users that can help me understand this?

thanks

I wanted to have python, wxPython, matplotlib, and gnuplot on my
system.

I installed successfully python 2.6 and wxPython 2.8.11 on Mac OSX
10.6.5.

I installed this way:
- python. 2.6.5 from www.python.org
- numpy 1.5.1-py2.6.mpkg
- freetype-2.4.4
- matplotlib-1.0.0
- wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.11.0-universla-py2.6
- gnuplot-4.4.2.tar

You may not need numpy and freetype if you do not want to install
matplotlib.

I also tried python 2.7 / wxPython 2.8 with MacPorts, but with no
success.
In the end there was a problem with the cpp-44 compiler which I could
not fix.

Good luck

The wxPython Mac installer can only be used with the Pythons from Python.org or Apple's Python. If you really need to use the one from MacPorts for some reason then I believe that they also have ports for wxMac and wxPython so you'll want to build and install it that way.
