Question

It seems that wxPython is missing “some” examples.

I have the following piece of code that doesn’t work on Windows:

import wx
wx.InitAllImageHandlers() # calling it doesn't make any difference 
print wx.Image("sample.bmp") # also tried with type=wx.BITMAP_TYPE_ANY

The returned value is None and I can also see a warning: Warning: No handler found for image type.

I tried to add the second line but it seems that it doesn’t change a thing.

You probably need wx.App created first.

import wx

app = wx.App(False)
print wx.Image("wallpaper.bmp")
