'find' does not locate anything that looks like wxPython2.x or wx-2.x other
than the 2.5 versions.

I am building python from source code on this machine using a standard port 
to FreeBSD installed by root.

I am building wxPython as user gr.


The user site-packages directory has these wx* files:

drwxr-xr-x  4 gr  gr    512 Apr 11 23:42 wx-2.5.5-gtk2-ansi
-rw-r--r--  1 gr  gr     19 Apr 15 14:06 wx.pth
-rw-r--r--  1 gr  gr  14432 Apr 15 14:05 wxversion.py
-rw-r--r--  1 gr  gr  11978 Apr 15 14:13 wxversion.pyc

And wx.pth contains:

wx-2.5.5-gtk2-ansi


Python seems to ignore the *.pth files in this directory but will read
the ones under /usr/local/lib/python2.4/site-packages, the default
directory. The .pth files there need the full pathname for modules in
the user site-packages directory. That still looks like the best fix for
the moment.


'import wxversion' and select obviously adds the path for wx to the sys.path
file.


Still looking....
