I downloaded an installed the recently available wxpython 2.5.1

win32 for Python2.3, the standard version not the unicode version.

It installed cleanly replacing the previous wxpython 2.4.2.4 I had
working on my system under python2.3, up until the last stage of
the
setup procedure where the screen allowing to select to compile

Python

.py files to .pyc, and view readme.

At the compile Python .py files to .pcy files stage of the
installation procedure , I had an errorr as follows:

Error Starting Program
The MSVCRT.DLL file is linked to missing export
NTDLL.DLL:RtlGetNtVersionNumbers.

Sorry! My Win98 test box no longer has this issue, so I thought I
had
this fixed. Hmmm... maybe a WindowsUpdate will fix it?

My system has all the latest critcal Windows Updates installed, the
only other updates I saw in the list were related to various language
packages as far as I recall.

I now cannot run any python script from "python program.py" but

must

run any script by running idle, opening the file in idle and

running

the program that way. This applies to the demo of wx also. I

cannot

run it directly, but can open the demo in idle and run it without
error.

This is unexpected. I would think pythonw would use the same

DLLs...

I have replaced the ntdll.dll file in c:\windows\system with the

same

problem still evident.

The problem is the MSVCRT.dll that wxPython installed. To fix try
removing the MS*.dll files in the Python dir. If that doesn't let
Python run for you again then reinstall Python.

I have renamed the 3 MS*.dll files in the Python dir. The wxPython
demo works now as does the Pythonw.exe. I haven't yet extensively
tested to see if there are any other problems, but will post to this
message board if any turn up.

Thanks for the quick reply and help.
