?? I ran this in a terminal window with GUI open. The shell is bash.

gnumed$ python
Python 2.3 (#1, Sep 13 2003, 00:49:11)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1495)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wxPython.wx
>>>

So nothing happens and then the same errors if I try to launch with:

pythonw /Users/gnumed/gnumed/gnumed/client/gm-from-cvs-macosx.sh

OR

pythonw ~/gnumed/gnumed/client/wxpython/gnumed.py

Yes sorry.

How do you add /usr/lib/wxPython to PYTHONPATH ?

Thanks for your help.
