However, there is no such file under the boa site-packages directory. There is a Boa.py (capital "B") so I presumed that the doc is somewhat behind the package contents and accepted Boa.py as the startup file in spite of the uppercase letter issue for the first character of the file. Therefore, it appears that the correct startup file is being used and that the startup process is consistent with the Boa doc provided. This error appears after entry to the Boa,py module and is a Python traceback error. In other words the program does start to execute. It appears to me from the traceback that there is a call to a method derived from a c wxPython module called htmlc.so and that the program halts at this point in the execution.
Which version of wxPython are you using? Boa versions are closely tied to wxPython versions.
