ImportError: No module named wx

I just downloaded V0.3.0 and thought that I'd try the GUI, but when I
try to run it I get the following error:


Traceback (most recent call last):

ImportError: No module named wx

I have python(x,y) v2.7.2.1 installed, and sure enough when I try
"import wx" in there I get a "No module name wx" error. Is "wx" a
graphics backend? Should it be available?

Wx (and VTK) are graphics libraries available in Python(x,y). I'm
pretty sure wx is not selected by default, but I'm not sure about vtk.
If you still have your Python(x,y) installer, you can relaunch it,
select a few more packages and all your other settings should still be
set property. I would open python and type:
>> import wx
>> import vtk

to be sure. If you don't have the installer, I would download
(requires Python 2.7 on Windows):
