Re: `import wx` raising `AttributeError`

Hi Robin, Tim,

Thanks very much for the replies.

Yes, this comes from either
    import wx

or even something more cautious like:
    try:
        import wx
        HAS_WX = True
   except ImportError:
        HAS_WX = False

As you see, there is definitely a file `.../site-packages/wx/__init__.py`
 that has the line
     import wx.__version__

and *that* works but then the next line
     __version__ = wx.__version__.VERSION_STRING

gives the AttributeError with . "module 'wx' has no attribute
'__version__'" .

It seems like that could not be possible. (Just to be clear, this is all
before any real dynamic libs are imported with `wx.core`).
If the file did not exist but did not define 'VERSION_STRING' it would say
*that* was the attribute error.

But I have now heard two reports of this. Both linux with anaconda.  And of
course, it all works most of the time.

I'm hesitant to include an `except AttributeError` in a `try: import wx`,
but it may come to that.
