#192 Boa dosent start

[Anonymous]

I have installed the latest versions of both Boa and
wxPython nad get the following error at startup:

Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: global name 'wx' is not defined

not at all surprising as wx is not imported, removing
the explicit reference to wx fixes the problem.

It means replace "wx.wxPlatform" with just "wxPlatform".
That fixed the problem for me, only to run into a new problem:
