When I click on the icon nothing happens. In the terminal when I run playonlinux I get the following.

ImportError: No module named wxversion
Looking for python... 2.7.7 - selected
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "mainwindow.py", line 31, in <module>
    import wxversion
ImportError: No module named wxversion

You probably need to install wxpython. Use the following command:

$ sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8

I know this is two years old, but what worked for me in 2016 was:

sudo apt-get install python-wxtools

It works for me when I do the following:

  1. comment any PATH settings related to another python path in my ~/.bashrc. Such as the line with "export PATH="/home/***/anaconda2/bin;$PAHT"

  2. restart a terminal and run playonlinux.

If you have installed any python versions from source , then also you can face this problem.

So

Follow these instructions and things should work out:

Open a terminal Ctrl+Alt+T(Open Applications menu, Accessories, Terminal). Run sudo nautilus (no quotes), giving your password when prompted.

Using the file browser that opens, navigate to /usr/local/bin/

Delete the file called python

Go to /usr/bin/

Right-click the file called 'python' and click copy. Paste it into /usr/local/bin/

Go back to '/usr/bin/' and copy 'python2.6' and paste it into /usr/local/bin/

Do the same with the file called python2.6-config

I had the same error. My problem was that python-wxversion was on version 3, so I downgraded it to version 2.8.

To do that, I used Synaptic package manager, if you don't have it installed, open a terminal and run sudo apt-get install synaptic

Open Synaptic, then in the search box type python-wxversion, then click on the package, then click on the menu Package and select Force version. A window should appear asking you to select the version you want, choose the 2.8 version and click on Force version and confirm if asked. After that, Synaptic will download and install (downgrade) the package. When done, try to run Playonlinux again.
