When I try and run xrced.py, I get the following errors in IDLE:
Please, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks!

PYTHON C:\Python26\Lib; C:\Python26\Tools; C:\Python26\Libs; C:\Python26\wx-2.6-msw-unicode\wx\tools\XRCed

BTW: Is the 'wx-2.6-msw-unicode' the proper wx to be running with Python 2.6 ?? Thanks!

What was the name of your windows install file?
It should be something like:
wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.9.1-py26.exe

You would normally find wx in:
C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.8-msw-unicode\wx

python-2.6.1.msi
wxPython2.6-win32-unicode-2.6.3.3-py25.exe
wxPython2.6-win32-docs-demos-2.6.3.3.exe

Thanks!

The file 'wxPython2.6-win32-unicode-2.6.3.3-py25.exe'
is your problem, it is meant for Python25 (hence the py25) and will not work with Python26! wxPython2.6 is the version of wxPython and not the Python version!

Get the py26 version at:
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-unicode-2.8.9.2-py26.exe

Delete the 'wx-2.6-msw-unicode' directory before you install the correct version!

Aha!
Wonderful
Thanks!
" http://downloads.sourceforge.net/wxp...8.9.2-py26.exe "
did the trick.
Now stuff works.
I googled the above address
and ended up here:
http://www.mirrorservice.org/sites/download.sourceforge.net/pub/sourceforge/w/wx/wxpython/

A great find for me, because I have a hard time finding stuff on SourceForge.
Maybe we could start an 'info matrix' (which version goes with which) for Python on sourceForge . I could do the setting up work, if I had someone that knows which<->which.
Anyways, Thanks again!
