If you install python as root and wxPython as a user, python can not find
the wx module. There is a wx.pth file with the directory name in it but
python will not use that unless it is in the site-packages where python
itself is installed. There are several fixes:

1. Install python and wxPython as root (maybe using sudo).

2. Add to the PYTHON_PATH environment variable an addiltional section with
the actual path to wx.
   ...:/home/gr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx-2.5.5-gtk2-ansi/
                                            ^^^^^--from wx.pth file

3. Put a wx.pth file in python's site-packages directory with the full
   pathname to wx.

4. Import wxversion in your program and tell it to import the version of
   wx that you want.


Numeric has similar problems if installed by a user.
