Question

I’m trying to import wxPython in my Blender game engine but getting error :

python code (in blender):

import bge
import wx

app = wx.App()

frame = wx.Frame(None, -1, 'frame in blender')
frame.Show()

app.MainLoop()

Error :-

  Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "Text", line 2, in <module>
  ImportError: No module named wx

I googled about this error, but found nothing usefull..

also,i copied wx directory from python’s lib installation directory to the blender’s lib directory.
after that, i got error:-

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "Text", line 2, in <module>
File "C:\Program Files\Blender Foundation\Blender\2.64\python\lib\wx\__init__.py", line 
14, in <module>
import __version__
ImportError: No module named __version__

please, help me!!

system details :-

os: windows 7
blender version : 2.64a
wxPython version : 2.8

Answer 1

That’s because Blender delivers a built-in version of the python interpreter.

You can probably solve this working on another way for importing the module.

I should also remind that the Blender Game Engine is extremely old for the biggest part, many OpenGL calls are really really really old and deprecated ( it’s based on a fixed pipeline behaviour ), I wouldn’t consider the game engine for any “serious” application of any kind. Blender itself is a good application, the game engine it’s not.
