Description David Mueller 2010-05-19 19:50:34 UTC 
Description of problem:
wx cannot be imported. This looks similar to bug #587900 which was filed against Fedora 13. An ImportError is thrown when wx is imported.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
wxPython-2.8.7.1-2.el5

How reproducible:
Always (on both 32bit and 64bit CentOS 5.5)

Steps to Reproduce:
1. $ python
2. >>> import wx

Actual results:
$ python
Python 2.4.3 (#1, Sep  3 2009, 15:37:37) 
[GCC 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wx
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/__init__.py", line 45, in ?
    from wx._core import *
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 14524, in ?
    from _misc import *
  File "/usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_misc.py", line 4, in ?
    import _misc_
ImportError: /usr/lib64/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx/_misc_.so: symbol _ZN7wxSound6CreateEiPKh, version WXU_2.8 not defined in file libwx_gtk2u_adv-2.8.so.0 with link time reference
>>> 

Expected results:
wx should import successfully without any errors.

Additional info:
When wxPython was installed via yum, the following dependencies were also installed:

  wxBase.x86_64 0:2.8.11-1.el5
  wxGTK.x86_64 0:2.8.11-1.el5          
  wxGTK-gl.x86_64 0:2.8.11-1.el5   

From looking at "rpm -qi wxPython" and "rpm -qi wxBase", I noticed that the build date for wxPython is Wed 23 Apr 2008 10:24:04 PM PDT while the build date for wxBase is Mon 26 Apr 2010 04:11:00 AM PDT. From this and the bug #587900 thread, my guess is that wxPython needs to be rebuilt to match the new wx packages. I didn't see any new wxPython packages in epel-testing for EPEL5.
