How to install missing wx module on Python 2.5?

I have developped a tool under python 2.5 and can't upgrade to a newer python version as I need to use an API developped under python 2.5 as well.

I recently tried my tool under another machine and it seems it hasn't wx module installed as you can see below:

>>> import wx
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<interactive input>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named wx

So I searched for the wxpython source. However once I tried to install the source with:

D:\tmp\wxPython-4.0.0b2>c:\Python25\python.exe setup.py install

I got following error:

Traceback (most recent call last): File "setup.py", line 15, in from setuptools import setup, find_packages ImportError: No module named setuptools

I can't either install whl files as I don't have pip.

So, how can I install wxpython for python 2.5 under Windows?

Is there any executable there in the web that I couldn't find? May there be a workaround by copying the wx module from a python directory from another computer?

Solution

  • As I had to install wxpython 2.7.2.0 I finally got it from wxPython2.7-win32-ansi-2.7.2.0-py25.exe.

    As stated in Patrick's comment all wxpython executables for any version are under https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/
