What happens instead ?

following error: import wx.combo ImportError: No module named combo

----------------------------------------

Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in /private/tmp/pip-build-SIHT_O/youtube-dlg/

Unable to install the application. I installed all the required software before, but get this message. I guess wx wasn't installed correctly, but don't know how/why?

Same error here, No module named combo. Also I'm stupid and don't know if I'm supposed to link gettext or whatever that means :(

[ghost]

Same problem too, I have to build from the source code eventually. Here is my actions and hope this could help.

• Install dependencies

  $ brew install python2
  $ brew install wxpython
  $ brew install gettext
  $ pip2 install twodict

• Link wx to site-packages of python installed by homebrew. I get "No module named wx" error without this step.

  $ cd /usr/local/opt/python2/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/lib/python2.7/site-packages
  $ ln -s /usr/local/opt/wxpython/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-3.0-osx_cocoa/wx wx

• Add path of msgfmt to PATH temporarily.

  $ export PATH=/usr/local/opt/gettext/bin:$PATH

• Install youtube-dl-gui whose source code is in Downloads folder

  $ cd ~/Downloads/youtube-dl-gui-0.4
  $ python2 setup.py install

• Run youtube-dl-gui

  $ youtube-dl-gui

Seems the same issue with https://github.com/MrS0m30n3/youtube-dl-gui/issues/263.

@AbercrombieChang You are great!

[ajsnyde]

I resolved this by installing wx through sourceforge - it seems that the pre-4.0 versions aren't listed on the main page or the dependency installer within pycharm. https://sourceforge.net/projects/wxpython/files/wxPython/

@ajsnyde How do you install that package? On mac, it needs MacPython and doesn't install on my Conda Python 2. :\

@AbercrombieChang Thanks for the solution! Actually, it looks like you can install youtube-dlg via simply pip after linking wx and adding PATH. Dopip2 install youtube-dlg.
