As you observed, the Debian wxPython packages currently only support one version of Python at a time. That decision ripples down and ends up affecting a number of other things -- for instance, it's also the reason that the Pythoncard Debian packages I maintain are only supported for a single version of Python. I'm sure that Ron (the Debian wxWidgets maintainer) has a good reason for supporting only one Python version, but I don't personally know what it is. This package does seem to be rather difficult to maintain, and that could be why he chose to do things this way. Or, it might just be that the default version of Python in Debian (even in etch) is still 2.3, and he's decided to support only the default version. You could try writing him to find out for sure. If you really can't live with using Python 2.3, then I guess you have two choices -- you can either download, modify and rebuild the Debian package (apt-get source and dpkg-buildpackage) or try to get an upstream binary distribution for your platform (which I guess could be problematic unless you also get binaries for the underlying libraries, etc.). Or, of course, you can also try building from the upstream source and install to /usr/local or something. Using that option, you might get away with installing the underlying wxWidgets shared libraries from the Debian package, and only the Python parts from source (if you're lucky). I imagine that's not the answer you're looking for, but I hope that helps a little, KEN -- Kenneth J.
