It is first time I’m using python on mac. I installed Python 2.7.1 from python.org and then wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-py2.7

(Mac OS X 10.6.6)

I have no idea where they installed to, but anyway, that’s what I get:

Python 2.7.1 (r271:86882M, Nov 30 2010, 10:35:34)

    As FogleBird says, wxPython use 32-bit and Mac Python installer should offer both architectures.
    So invoking python with 32 bit should allow you to use it with no issue.
    to invoke Python in 32-bit

    $ python2.7-32
Python 2.7.2 (v2.7.2:8527427914a2, Jun 11 2011, 15:22:34) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5666) (dot 3)] on darwin

>>> import wx
>>> print wx.version()
2.8.12.1 (mac-unicode)

    instead of just $ python
