I have wxPython3.0-win64-py27 installed on my windows 7 64bit machine.
Adding
import wxversion
wxversion.select(“3.0”)
import wx
to my script, traceback tells me “DLL load failed: %1 is not a valid Win32 application.”
What am doing wrong here?

···

I install wxpython 3.0.0 and demo, but when I run it, it appears MS debugger and exit.

Program before I can run under wxpython 2.9.5, they all can not run.

My system is Windows XP SP2.

Why?

I don't know. I don't have an XP machine to test on. Since you apparently have the MS debugger installed (and so probably the compilers too) why don't you try building wxPython and debugging it to see where/why it is crashing.

Is the Python you are using 32-bit or 64-bit?

Hi, Robin,

I run it and debug with MS debugger, get follow messages:

wxbase30u_vc90.dll!010388e3()

[The following framework may be incorrect and / or missing is not loaded symbol wxbase30u_vc90.dll]

msvcr90.dll!78583db8()

msvcr90.dll!78583ed8()

msvcr90.dll!78548558()

I am newer and not familiar with MS development, but want to use wxpython 3.0.0.

wxpython 2.9.5 is OK.

I am having the same error. Windows XP Pro SP3 32bit
wxPython3.0-win32-docs-demos-3.0.0.0.exe

wxPython3.0-win32-3.0.0.0-py27.exe
Python 2.7.5 MSC v.1500 32 bit

I can do a:

import wx

app = wx.App()

frame = wx.Frame(None)

frame.Show()

app.MainLoop()

but running pysliceshell (found in my PATH) generates the same error

32-bit. I see where you are going. Change 2.7 to 64 bit?

For what it's worth:

msvcr90.dll!78583db8()

That's inside _malloc.

msvcr90.dll!78583ed8()

That's in "operator new", about to raise a "bad_alloc" exception.

msvcr90.dll!78548558()

That's fetching the C run-time per-thread data structure.

I don't know any reason why that all shouldn't work in XP, unless the
new wx is somehow allocating way more Thread Local Storage than previous
versions.

Could this be a run-time dll mismatch?

Is there more than one version of

msvcr90.dll out in the wild?

Yes. In fact, I believe there are 6 public versions, although
generally a mismatch causes a DLL load failure rather than a
run-time incompatibility. Perhaps downloading and installing the
latest “Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package” would help.

32-bit. I see where you are going. Change 2.7 to 64 bit?

Or install the 32-bit wxPython. The Win32/Win64 in the wxPython file name should match the bitness for the Python being used, which is not necessarily the same as the platform.

If somebody wants to try the latest Phoenix build on XP that may help find the source of the issue. It is based on wx the current 3.0 branch (version pre 3.0.1) so if this is a general problem in wxWidgets they may have solved it already.

Either that or download the 32-bit wxPython. The key point is that you
cannot mix 32-bit and 64-bit components in a single process.

I have installed python 2.7 32bit and wxpython 3.0.0 32bit.

Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable Package x86 installed.

but problem still exists.

Then I find that if I add “wx.Log.SetLogLevel(0)” on the wx.App and remove wx.SearchCtrl component , wxpython 3.0.0 is OK.

Please help!

Yes I verified the widget issues on XP also in the wx3.0.0 preview thread on wxPython-dev.
Seems like someone upstream needs a fix as it is apparently in the wxWidgets side of things with the compiled stuff.
Maybe in a few days the snapshot build of phoenix will have fixed it if anyone has noticed yet or may be working on it.
Until someone can pinpoint exactly where the problem started at, then you are probably stuck with using 2.9.5 until then.At least on XP.
Also, it just isn’t the searchctrl, there are other widgets also that crash the demos when run individually.
So, until 3.0.1 or whatever…
