Mageia forum

I've just done a clean install of Mageia 5 (64 bit) and I'm trying to set up Python 2.7 so that I can develop with it using the wxPython GUI toolkit.

Having finally found out how to get IDLE I set about installing wxPython and have the following packages now installed:
* wxPython
* wxpython-wxversion
* lib64wxgtku2.8_0
* lib64wxgtku3.0_0
* lib64wxgtkugl2.8_0
* lib64wxgtkugl3.0_0

When I try to import wx into a Python program, I get the following error:

ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/wx-3.0-gtk2/wx/_core_.so: symbol wxLocaleIsUtf8, version WXU_3.0 not defined in file libwx_baseu-3.0.so.0 with link time reference

It looks like a library incompatibility, but I've no idea how to resolve it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello.
It's a bug https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16244
You need to install wxPython from cauldron or waiting while this update comes into Mageia 5 Updates repository branch.

Thanks xxblx, but the status of the bug says fixed. Doesn't look that way to me. So I may be waiting a long time.

I'll check out Cauldron

Thanks
