I want to use wxpython, but when I installed it python didn't recognise the module. I've looked everywhere for help but gotten nowhere so could someone help me out?

What operating system do you have?
Did you install proper version of wxPython?

I have Windows XP and my wx package is in
C:\Python24\Lib\site-packages\wx-2.6-msw-unicode\wx\__init__.py

Here is a simple sample of wxPython code:

import wx

class MyFrame(wx.Frame):
    def __init__(self):
        # create a frame/window, no parent, default to wxID_ANY
        wx.Frame.__init__(self, None, wx.ID_ANY, 'wxPython', pos=(300, 150), size=(300, 350))
        self.SetBackgroundColour('green')
        # show the frame
        self.Show(True)


application = wx.PySimpleApp()
# call class MyFrame
window = MyFrame()
# start the event loop
application.MainLoop()

The proper installation sequence is this way:
1) install the Python version for your operating system
2) install wxPython for your version of Python and OS
