AttributeError: ' module' object has no attribute 'PySimpleApp'

[Frijole]

I am new to wxPython, and not really an expert in python itself
either. I downloaded wxPython becuase I have a very simple script that
checks my gmail for new messages and I would like to give it some sort
of graphic. But, I keep getting this error whenever I try anything
with wxPython. This is the script I attempted originally, although
anything I have tried has given the same error albeit with a different
attribute that it cannot find:

import wx
app = wx.PySimpleApp()
frame = wx.Frame(None, wx.ID_ANY, "Hello World")
frame.Show(True)
app.MainLoop()

Even from the command line:

import wx

gives the same error for the attribute 'VERSION'

I would really appreciate some help with this, thanks for reading.

When you say you downloaded wxPython...you do know that there's a
version of wxPython already in Movable Python? What did you do with
the new one?

Sorry for the late reply.

Sending us the results of the following would probably help:

import wx
print wx.__file__
print dir(wx)

All the best,
