• looking for wx.version

    From Doug Laidlaw@2:250/1 to All on Mon May 23 16:02:59 2022
    Trying to run an old media player that seems to have installed itself, I
    get:

    Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/local/share/tunapie/Tunapie.py", line 23, in <module>
    import wx.version
    ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'wx.version'

    Wxwidgets seems to have undergone a re-write. A Web search found a
    reference to wx-config; I can't find that, either.

    Any ideas, please?

    Why not get a new version of that media player?

    Do you expect a program written for Windows NT to run on Windows 11?

    And what do you mean "installed itself"? If that is really true then you computer has been invaded, because programs do NOT install themselves.
    Eg a Trojan. If you told us what this "old media player" was perhaps
    someone could point you to a new version.

    And when was that web page written? (The problem is people do not date
    their web pages far too often, so stuff written in 2006 comes up in web searches.)

    Any ideas, please?

    I have several current media players, but this is a small one that runs
    on Linux, and has many FM channels. I haven't used it for a while.

    As for installing itself, the program was built entirely within my home directory, which survives system upgrades.

    A problem with such programs is precisely that they become unstable
    because of changes in libraries, etc.

    There is no wx.version for Python3:

    https://discuss.wxpython.org/t/py3-4-and-wx3-importerror-no-module-named-wxversion-release-number-mismatch-etc/29166

    I think that I can specify Python 2.7, but really, it isn't worth the exercise.
