wxpython 3 on windows

Question

How can I download wxPython 3 on windows? I see this link but it has .egg extension, and not exe. Ive given up on pyQT because of the lack of advanced tutorials for PyQT4, and I really would like a good libaray i can build GUI's from in Python. Ive read that wxpython 3 is compatible with the wxpython 2 api.

I cant find any good online tutorials for installation. Im using Python 3.3.2, Any suggestions? Thanks!

Answer 1

wxPython does not yet officially support Python 3. However, if you unpack the .tar.gz in a directory and run c:\\Python33\\python.exe setup.py install or equivalent on your system, it should install just fine.

However, beware that some parts of the library may not work on Python 3 yet.

Note: Tested with wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.1.dev75711.tar.gz .

Answer 2

To install wxPython for py3k (Phoenix) on windows.

• First install setuptools .
  This creates easy_install.exe in your Python Scripts folder.

• Then download Phoenix .
  For example: wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.1.dev75783-py3.3-win32.egg

• Put the downloaded egg file somewhere.
  For example in C:\\Python33\\

• Open the console, go to C:\\Python33\\Scripts

run:

C:\Python33\Scripts>easy_install.exe C:\Python33\wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.1.dev75783-py3.3-win32.egg

Phoenix will install
