It appears that in version 2.8.1.1 wxPython defaults to UNICODE=1 while the 
wxWidgets build defaults to ansi (i.e., not unicode).  In step (11) try:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace WXPORT=msw BUILD_GLCANVAS=0 
BUILD_GIZMOS=0 UNICODE=0

Let me know if it works and I will update the wiki.

If it doesn't work, try "/usr/local/bin/wx-config --list" and let me know 
what it says.
