Working fine for me on Windows 10 AMD64 with Python 3.12.6.

32-bit or 64-bit? Or ARM64? How did you install wxPython?

[alvis-spac]

My windows10 is x64. I install wxPython with PycharmCommunity2023 Terminal--pip install wxPython.
Confusing me is that I use other third-party libaries is normal in this way--install and import.

Working fine here with Python 3.12.0 and 3.12.5:

What does your site-packages and wx directory look like?

The installation process is automated and I did not modify any directories.

[DietmarSchwertberger]

Do you have e.g. wxmsw32u_core_vc140_x64.dll in the site-packages directory?
Personally I don't use Virtual Environments, so I don't know whether this is causing the issues.

Maybe, you want to run DependenciesGui.exe to check the dependencies of _core.cp312-win_amd64.pyd.
It's available from here: https://github.com/lucasg/Dependencies
Just run it and drag the .pyd file to it's window.

This is correct:

This is when I remove the wxmsw...dll:

I have tried with a virtual environment and this did work for me.
Strange enough, there is also similar bug report #2614 for MacOS.

Thanks bro! When I don't install wxpython in a virtual environment, it works fine.

I suspect the root cause here is probably some sort of DLL search path problem with the OP's environment.
