I am unable to understand, from where and how i should install wxpython for ubuntu 8.0 ( hardy heron ) .
I downloaded something called
"wxPython-common-gtk2-unicode-2.8.8.0-fc7_py2.5.i386" from wxpython.org, but wondering what to do with it ? Should i put it into
/usr/bin/ where i am having my python package ?
Thanks.

Have you tried to see if it is already in the ubuntu repositories before you install from the package from the wxpython site? I bet if you do a apt-get for that or search for it via the gui package manager you could find it and then it would be installed by the package manager.

Where is this "repository". I have already seen inside /usr/bin/ . Python is there, but there is nothing with the name "wxpython"
And one thing more....
I even don't get it from "Add Remove Programs". Where one can install any required opensource s/w. When i type wxpython, it cannot find any such opensource package.
Thanks.

Ok, so you tryed Synaptic? and searched for wxpython? if not try the following command: sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 or even sudo apt-get search wxpython or sudo apt-get search python-wxgtk
