Jump to PostDoesn't Mandriva have a repository?
Jump to PostYou must open the mandriva software manager (if you are using gnome, this is in the Applications menu: install and remove software). Then you type 'wx' or 'matplotlib' or 'python' in the software manager search form. Then you select the packages you need and you click on the apply button. …
Jump to PostYou may have to configure your package sources. Also, I recommend the gnome version because I found that it was much faster than the KDE version (still, I can run KDE apps).
Jump to PostYou can configure the sources with the mandriva control center. (System->Administration->Configure your computer). Also I know that all cd-roms are not equivalent in this respect. You should intall your mandriva with the Mandriva-One cdrom. Your sources should be automatically configured then. You can download the image online.
Jump to PostI know that you have Mandriva, so what IDE/Editor do you use?
Well, most of the time I use an unpublished IDE that I wrote. I aso use the editor which comes with gnome (gedit). I also tried geany, which is distributed as a mandriva package.
