Hi experts,

I am facing problem while importing grid and following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File “”, line 1, in

File “/home/fsluser/.local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx/grid.py”, line 12, in

from ._grid import *

ImportError: libSDL-1.2.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Thanks - I forgot to ask - Does the wx.Grid demo run on your
installation? (You can get the demos package from
https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/ and pick the version that
matches your wxPython version.

If it helps, this is how the CentOS-7 build machine is set up, (where the wheels for CentOS are built):

Had same problem with wx.grid. Turned out to be caused by PyCharm, went back to Idle and problem went away (in Idle).
