Well, yes, you’ve sort of explained the problem.  Unless wxPython is on the library path or using PYTHONPATH it isn’t going to work, and I don’t have wxPython installed on my system for any other purpose.  So, invoking the system python as is done in the version check isn’t going to work without first pointing it to a path that contains the wxPython library.

I’ve been building wxPython as part of my kicad builds and passing -DPYTHON_SITE_PACKAGE_PATH to cmake with the built wxPython library.  Up to now this has worked for me.

I’d need to set the python path to point to my built wxPython.  When all is compiled and installed, everything works because the libraries are moved into the right places.

I don’t have wxPython installed as part of my system install so importing wxversion is always going to fail unless I point it to my wxPython that I build as part of my kicad builds.  Anyone else experiencing this?
