Unable to get wxPython installed ...

[Rick_Astley]

I ran the following command:

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxtools wx2.8-i18n libwxgtk2.8-dev libgtk2.0-dev

and got:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
libgtk2.0-dev is already the newest version.
libwxgtk2.8-dev is already the newest version.
python-wxgtk2.8 is already the newest version.
python-wxtools is already the newest version.
wx2.8-i18n is already the newest version.

In my Python code I have:

#!/usr/bin/env python
try:
import wx
except ImportError:
print('wxpython is not installed')

and when I run that program I get:

wxpython is not installed

..... am I missing something here???

I suspect that


#!/usr/bin/env python

is running python 3 but the above packages are for python 2.

Thank you for replying. How can I check what
#!/usr/bin/env python

is running?

At the terminal I ran the shown in my opening post, but this time using "python2.7" instead of "python3.4" and now it's working! Thank you!
