import wx works interactive but not from script

[jefm]

when I call "import wx" from the interactive console, it works (i.e.
it doesn't complain).
But when I call the same from a script, it complains that it can not
find the wx module.

------------works for interactive----------------------------
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67517, Dec 4 2008, 16:51:00) [MSC v.1500 32 bit
(Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
------------does not work frm script--------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):

import wx
ImportError: No module named wx


I run Vista Home premium 64bit. Python 2.6.1 (the 32-bit version).
I installed the latest 32-bit ANSI version of wxpython. (http://
downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-ansi-2.8.9.1-
py26.exe)
In the folder C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages, I find a wx.pth file with
a single line in there: "wx-2.8-msw-ansi"
in that same directory is a folder named "wx-2.8-msw-ansi" and it
contains a subdirectory called "wx" with what appears to be the
regular wx libary stuff, including __init__.py
My PATH starts with C:\Python26;C:\Python26\Scripts;C:\Python26\lib;

any idea's ?

Do you have only the one version of Python on this
machine? Did you upgrade from, eg, Python2.5? And
are you running this script by, eg, double-clicking
on it / running it from the command prompt with the
script name alone? If so, check that ftype python.file
shows that .py files are associated with the version
of Python you expect.

I ran the script from a command line, so it is not a file association
thing.
I do have multiple versions of Python installed on that machine. I
will uninstall them all and install a single version from clean.
Thanks for the suggestion

Ummm... if you ran it by just typing the script name --
c:\test\whatever.py rather than c:\pythonxx\python c:\test\whatever.py --
then it certainly could be a file association issue.

Hope it helps. Let us know how it turns out.

ok, sorry for the long wait.
I tried this on both my work (XP) and home PC (Vista64) and they are
both consistent.

I had both Python2.6 and Python 3.0 installed.
wxPython didn't like that.
As soon as I uninstalled Python3.0, my wxPython started running again.
Must be some kind of registry thing.

Thanks for the suggestion.
