Hi,
I am a user of houdini 10.0.528 and working on Ubuntu 9.04, after I installed the latest wxpython 2.8.10.1, when I try to import wx module, I got error like this:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File “testApp”, line 1, in <module>
File “/opt/hfs10.0.528/houdini/scripts/python/wx/__init__.py”, line 45, in
<module>
from wx._core import *
File “/opt/hfs10.0.528/houdini/scripts/python/wx/_core.py”, line 62, in <module>
_core_._wxPySetDictionary(vars())
TypeError: _wxPySetDictionary must have dictionary object!

Does anyone has this kind of experience and know how to fix it?

Thanks!

Hello,

Have you looked at this page?

I saw that example, that's why I try to use wxPython in the first place, but I cant even import the moudle.

I bought the 3D buzz tutorial on how to create GUI using wxPython, but they only showed the way in window xp, it works if I use houdini in windows, but I really want to use those features in Ubuntu…so any idea?

In the 3D buzz toturial, when they install the wxpyhton using binary, they said houdini only support the ansi version. But when I install it in Ubuntu using apt, there is no option for me to choose which version to install. Is this why I cant run it on houdini in ubuntu? I followed the tutor and installed a windows version, and it works fine. Do I need to compile it using source code myself?

I am sorry, beyond that page, I can be of little help, we moved completely to qt and spend some time building wrapper classes that help with pyqt, dont know a lot about wx.

Good luck,
