The wxpython mailing list is probably better...

Try this:

Start -> Run cmd.exe
Type "cd " and then drop the lib/site-packages/wxPython/demo directory
from Explorer on the command prompt. Press enter. You should now be
in the wxPython/demo directory.

Type "python demo.py". What happens? What error messages
do you get?

What do you mean? Any editor can be used with wxPython.
Are you after a GUI builder or a GUI debugger or what?
