Ubuntu – How to install wxpython ubuntu 16.04

16.04playonlinuxpythonwxpython

I have a problem with playonlinx, and it requires me to install wxpython, but I have it already installed. I've used different methods, but every-time I do import wx, it gives me this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named wx

So I don't know what to do now, I've also installed and reinstalled playonlinux, and still it doesn't work.

I could install it by typing in a terminal:

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk3.0

I don't know but I think that the older versions (2.8, 2.6, …) aren't currently in the 16.04 repositories.

Ubuntu – PlayOnLinux won’t launch

Here is how I managed to get PlayOnLinux running with both python 2.7.9 (installed alongside POL) and 2.7.12 on the same machine:

First, you have to locate where python 2.7.9 is installed, mine is /usr/bin/python

After that, edit /usr/share/playonlinux/bash/find_python (you might need root-privileges)

Replace these lines:

next_python "python"
next_python "python2.7"

with next_python "/usr/bin/python".

Save & exit. Run playonlinux again.

Voilà.

For anyone else who had this issue, here's your solution..

If you try to run playonlinux and recieve this error:

ImportError: No module named wxversion
failed tests 
Please install python before trying to run this program

Edit this file:

/usr/share/playonlinux/bash/find_python

And change the following from:

            next_python "python"
            next_python "python2.7"
            next_python "python2.6"
            next_python "python2"
            next_python "none"

to:

            next_python "/usr/bin/python" #<<This line was added
            next_python "python"
            next_python "python2.7"
            next_python "python2.6"
            next_python "python2"
            next_python "none"

And that's it!
