    wxPython Menu Bar Problem

    I think there may be a bug in wxPython on Ubuntu?

    I am writing an application in Python / wxPython. It runs fine on Windows and it runs fine from Eclipse on Ubuntu.

    However, if I run it 'directly', either by double-clicking or from a $python filename.py command in terminal then the menubar is not displayed.

    Everything else works, including the toolbar

    Any ideas?

    It is a bug in Ubuntu which uses a different menu system. You need to add this to your launch script:
    Code:
    export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0

    In Natty wx applications show the menu right out of the box.

    This issue is a bug in Unity, not wxPython. It is fixed in Ubuntu Oneiric, so upgrade your ubuntu distro and it will be solved out of the box.

    Re: wxPython Menu Bar Problem

    Even if the bug has been fixed in oneiric, it seems to be back in precise? Tried stani's fix (if I got it right) and added "export UBUNTU_MENUPROXY=0" to /etc/rc.local (before the last line exit 0). Rebooted. Now wxpython menus disappear from the app window, and do not appear in the top bar any more. So - it's gone from bad to worse for UNITY. Back in Gnome the menus still appear where I expect.
