wxPython3.0-devel-win32-3.0.0.0.exe

downloaded wx for 32 bit python. I have a 64 bit OS, but had to install 32 bit python because the 64 bit version did not work, and I was told this is the solution.
click the downloaded file once,

wizard

It put wxWidgets in C:\

box announced installation complete

C:\wxWidgets\3.0.0.0-win32

contains art, build, demos, distrib, etc

Open shell

import wx

error

import wxWidgets

error

I don’t think I have ever seen wxPython install wxWidgets on my hard drive. Do you have 32-bit Python installed on your machine? When you install wxPython, it should find a list of the Python versions installed and ask you which one you want it installed against. Then when you are done installing, you can open Python in a terminal (cmd.exe) and import it. Make sure that both Python AND wxPython are 32-bit.

I suggest you stop messing around and get the 64 bit versions of Python and wxPython working on your machine as I've never needed to get wxWidgets separately.

No. wxWidgets is designed to be USED from C++. wxPython is designed to
be USED from Python.

Both are mostly written in C++.
