This is a total python newbie question .....

I just downloaded and extracted a learning game for python called RUR-PLE, however I cannot seem to get it running. When I click on the rur_start.py script, it doesn't execute like it does in Windows XP, rather it just opens up in an editor. I have WXpython installed, and I am pretty sure python is installed too. Naturally, I am missing something obvious here. Would someone kindly offer some expert advice?

ok...got a little farther on my own....

[root@localhost rurple1.0rc3]# python rur_start.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "rur_start.py", line 31, in <module>
import wx
ImportError: No module named wx


Thanks:-)

Go to Mandriva Control Center, and look for "Install Software/Packages" (excuse me if the names aren't quite right, been a while since I've used it)

You'll need to install wxpython, it may also be called wxgtk.

Actually the name of the old, 2.6-series package is "wxpython2.6", while for the new 2.8-series it's "WxPythonGTK" (names are, as usual, case sensitive).
Pick whichever suits your application.

Yep....that was it. I installed the wrong version (wxpython2.6) whereas I should have installed wxPythonGTK and it's dependency libwxPythonGTK2.8k

Thank you very much
