Vista 64 + Python2.5 + wxpython 28 issue

[simonroses]

Hello Guys,

I have installed python 2.5 (AMD64) on Vista (64), also installed wx 2.8
but I'm getting this error:

""""
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mymodule.py", line 39, in <module>
import wx
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\__init__.py",
line 4
5, in <module>
from wx._core import *
File "C:\Python25\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx\_core.py",
line 4, i
n <module>
import _core_
ImportError: DLL load failed with error code 193
"""

I have set python.exe to run under admin but that do not fix the problem.

Any ideas ?

Thanks!

Sincerely,

SRF

193 means ERROR_BAD_EXE_FORMAT. Could it be that you are using a
32-bit extension DLL? How precisely did you "install" wx 2.8? Did
you rebuild it from source?

Martin

Hello Martin,

I installed wxpython 2.8 using the installer
(wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.4.0-py25.ex), yeah I assume is the 32 bits
version.

Is there any 64 version installer or do I need to build myself ?

Thanks,

SRF

There are hardly AMD64 versions of *anything* but the base Python
distribution. I strongly advise to use the 32-bit version on AMD64
(in fact, I see little reason to run Win64 at all unless you have
more that 4GiB in the box, or unless you are developing a software
product that you explicitly target for Win64).

If you absolutely need to run 64-bit code, be prepared to compile
everything for yourself, and be prepared that it won't work out
of the box, and cost you many person days to fix and debug. Never
forget to feed back the fixes you make to the respective authors
of the open source software.

Notice that you won't just need a 64-bit version of wxpython,
but also such versions of all underlying libraries wxpython
happens to be build on.

Regards,
Martin

Hello Martin,

Thanks for your reply.

There was no need for me to use 64 so I have switched back to 32 and works
fine.

Python is not ready for the 64 world yet

SRF

It's a matter of standpoint. 64 bit is not ready for the world, yet.

I think you mean 64bit windows. 64bit linux has been working great. I use
64bit python and zope every day and they work very well and the ability to
use more memory then 4G is very handy for my tests.

I think you mean 64bit windows. 64bit linux has been working great.

Put differently: when everybody has a C compiler and the C source code
for things tends to be available, any change to the CPU architecture
is mostly painless.
