I don’t know what caused this import error

The code I am sharing snippet acknowledges the import error and suggests checking dependencies and reinstalling wxPython if necessary:

# Importing wxPython
import wx

# Check for any import errors
try:
    from wx.core import *
except ModuleNotFoundError as e:
    print(f"Import error: {e}")

# Check if wxPython is installed correctly
# Ensure dependencies are up-to-date
# Reinstall wxPython if issues persist
#3

first，download the file [wxPython-4.2.1-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl ], then change the name :wxPython-4.2.1-cp38-cp38-manylinux_2_35_x86_64.whl
use pip to install :
pip install /home/luo/Downloads/wxPython-4.2.1-cp38-cp38-manylinux_2_35_x86_64.whl

I don’t know much about wheels, but am I right in assuming that wxPython-4.2.1-cp38-cp38-win_amd64.whl is built to run on Windows and will contain binary extensions compiled for Windows?

So how does just renaming it as a wheel for manylinux allow the code to run on linux?

#5

@RichardT is correct - a win_amd64.whl is built for 64-bit x86 Windows and will NOT work on Linux simply by renaming it.

#6

OK.Thank you for your reminding, this problem has been sovled.

#7

Yes，U are right，But the installation shows successfully installed that still makes me a little confused
