[wxPython] wxPython a problem on old Win95 version?

wxPython Users

I would like to use wxPython on a fairly old version of Win95 ('ver'
gives "Windows 95. [Version 4.00.1111]").

I've installed an up-to-date Python ('sys.version' gives "'2.1.1 (#20,
Jul 26 2001, 11:38:51) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)]'"), and wxPython for 2.1.

Although Python scripts that do not involve wxPython seem to be
alright, no matter which method I use to execute scripts that do
use wxPython (SciTE, from Windows Explorer, etc), they croak
with an exception in kernel32.dll. For example the wxPython fails,
as does this pathetic little script.

from wxPython.wx import *

class TestFrame(wxFrame):
    def __init__(self, parent, log):
        wxFrame.__init__(self, parent, -1, "Simple Demo",
size=(640,480))

if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    app = wxPySimpleApp()
    frame = TestFrame(None, sys.stdout)
    frame.Show(true)
    app.MainLoop()

This is the first whiff of trouble I've ever had with wxPython. Any
ideas?

Thanks!

Yes, I hit this too. Go look at the prerequisites for wxPython for
Windows 95 again, you missed some stuff.

I had the same problem and I gave up!
Now the same thing runs in Excel as VBA.

I had no Chance to bring wxPython to live under Win95.
I tried around 8 different W95 installations...
