[wxPython] Help! Installing wxPython for windows

I am new to programming. My computer has Python 2.1 installed and works
fine. I installed wxPython in directory "F:\wxpython\wxPython" using
"wxPython-2.2.5-Py20.EXE" (For windows 98). Running demo.py gave
following errors:

F:\wxpython\wxPython\demo>"F:\Program Files\Python21\python.exe" demo.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "demo.py", line 3, in ?
    import Main
  File "Main.py", line 15, in ?
    from wxPython.wx import *
ImportError: No module named wxPython.wx

Typing "from wxPython.wx import *" in the Python shell gave following
error:

from wxPython.wx import *

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<pyshell#1>", line 1, in ?
    from wxPython.wx import *
ImportError: No module named wxPython.wx

In my system wxPython.wx is missing. I have never installed a extention
module in the Python. I am doing some thing wrong and don't know how to
correct it.

I am new to programming. My computer has Python 2.1 installed and works
fine. I installed wxPython in directory "F:\wxpython\wxPython" using
"wxPython-2.2.5-Py20.EXE" (For windows 98).

Problem #1: On windows the version of Python that the extension module was
compiled with matters, hence the "Py20" in the name. You'll need to go back
to Python 2.0 at least until I can get a build done and tested for Python
2.1.

Running demo.py gave
following errors:

F:\wxpython\wxPython\demo>"F:\Program Files\Python21\python.exe" demo.py

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "demo.py", line 3, in ?
    import Main
  File "Main.py", line 15, in ?
    from wxPython.wx import *
ImportError: No module named wxPython.wx

In my system wxPython.wx is missing.

Problem #2: See this link for the answer:
