import wx works interactive but not from script

[jefm]

when I call "import wx" from the interactive console, it works (i.e.
it doesn't complain).
But when I call the same from a script, it complains that it can not
find the wx module.

------------works for interactive----------------------------
Python 2.6.1 (r261:67517, Dec  4 2008, 16:51:00) [MSC v.1500 32 bit

>>> import wx

------------does not work frm script--------------------------

ImportError: No module named wx


I run Vista Home premium 64bit. Python 2.6.1 (the 32-bit version).
I installed the latest 32-bit ANSI version of wxpython. (http://
downloads.sourceforge.net/wxpython/wxPython2.8-win32-ansi-2.8.9.1-
py26.exe)
In the folder C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages, I find a wx.pth file with
a single line in there: "wx-2.8-msw-ansi"
in that same directory is a folder named "wx-2.8-msw-ansi" and it
contains a subdirectory called "wx" with what appears to be the
regular wx libary stuff, including __init__.py
My PATH starts with C:\Python26;C:\Python26\Scripts;C:\Python26\lib;

any idea's ?
