playonlinux not installing correctly?

**gandalf3** · May 6th, 2012

i installed playonlinux from the software center,
but when i tried to open it, nothing happened.
result of the command 'playonlinux' in the terminal:

Code:

playonlinux
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mainwindow.py", line 30, in <module>
    import wx
ImportError: No module named wx
/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux: line 97: python2.6: command not found

i then tried to install it from they'er website, and as far as i can tell i was successful, but the same thing still happens..

anyone know why this is happening and how to fix it?
any help appreciated..

hmm...
i did it again

Code:

playonlinux
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mainwindow.py", line 31, in <module>
    import wxversion
ImportError: No module named wxversion
/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux: line 97: python2.6: command not found

now its "wxversion", not just "wx"... odd.
anyway, BUMP.
can't think of anymore relevant information right now...

Seems to be a Python related problem (see this).

hmm thanks..
but i have more than two "python" files in there.. (python, python2, and the config files, AND python2.7 with the 2.7 config)

Code:

/usr/local/bin$ ls
2to3  OgreMeshUpgrader  pydoc   python2    python2.7-config  python-config
idle  OgreXMLConverter  python  python2.7  python2-config    smtpd.py

how should i proceed?
also, will this affect any python projects im working on?

Did you try installing this?

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-wxversion

i don't remember installing it, but it seems i did at some point..

Code:

 Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
python-wxversion is already the newest version.
python-wxversion set to manually installed.
The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required:
  simgear2.0.0
Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them.

but...

Code:

 playonlinux
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mainwindow.py", line 31, in <module>
    import wxversion
ImportError: No module named wxversion
/usr/share/playonlinux/playonlinux: line 97: python2.6: command not found

still the same..
thanks anyway

What version of Ubuntu are you using? Are you using an unsupported version of Ubuntu?

Maybe try installing

Code:

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6

It seems like it's wanting python 2.6, and it looks like you only have 2.7 installed. I don't get it, though, because I never had it ask for 2.6, and I only have 2.8 installed.
