I don't know how to run Python.  Instructions to install are to type ./playonlinux in Python.  I have gone to the proper directory -playonlinux- and typed python ./playonlinux and get and error.

I guess you're quoting the instructions


So to start it you just have to type "./playonlinux" (without the double quotes) from the directory that tarball extraction created, that's all!

(more detailed answer: PlayOnLinux is written part in Python and part in Bash script, and this ./playonlinux thingy happens to be a Bash script, so trying to make Python interpret it couldn't work. Too bad, that was a 1:2 chance of success ;) )

I've tried that already.  I get an error.  I am pasting my directory and the input and the results for you below;

You lack wxWindows bindings for Python.
I don't know if all the dependencies are documented somewhere, all I can think of is the dependencies in the Debian package:
Depends: unzip, wine | wine-stable | wine-unstable, wget, xterm, python, python-wxgtk2.8, imagemagick, cabextract, icoutils
Be sure to install the equivalent packages for OpenSuse 12; "|" means alternatives, but the distinction between wine, wine-stable and wine-unstable is really a Debian specific thing, all you need is some version of Wine (preferably 32bit) installed system-wide.
(Really, did nobody package PlayOnLinux 4.1.x for OpenSuse already?)

I show wine-32 bit, wine-gecko, qt4wine, qt4win-lang all installed.

I have worked with PlayOnLinux in Ubuntu, but now I'm starting with OpenSuse and I have many problems to install PlayOnLinux. Obviously the first thing I did was follow your instructions, but they didn't work. Here I leave what I have in the terminal:

lucy@linux-khtl:~$ cd /home/lucy/Downloads/playonlinux/
lucy@linux-khtl:~/Downloads/playonlinux$ ./playonlinux
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "mainwindow.py", line 30, in
import wxversion
ImportError: No module named wxversion
./playonlinux: line 138: python2.6: command not found
lucy@linux-khtl:~/Downloads/playonlinux$

Thanks for your help!!

Thought I might mention, I downloaded and installed PoL from the packman repository. Much easier than trying to find a work around. However, it is only version 3.8.12.
