I've compile wxPython without error mensage in Linux (suse 7.1)
When I run python demo.py (python version 2.2) I get de following
error mensage

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "demo.py", line 4, in ?
    Main.main()
  File "Main.py", line 787, in main
    app = MyApp(wx.Platform == "__WXMAC__")
  File "/usr/lib/python2.2/site-packages/wxPython/wx.py", line 1951, in
__init__
    _wxStart(self.OnInit)
  File "Main.py", line 775, in OnInit
    return True
NameError: global name 'True' is not defined

Try upgrading to the latest bugfix release of Python 2.2 -- IIRC, it's at 2.2.3 now. 2.2.1 introduced the global names True and False, and wxPython is relying on their existence.

Yep, this has been fixed in CVS already. You can fix it either by upgrading to Python 2.2.2 or newer, or adding the following to demo/Main.py:

try:
     True
except NameError:
     True = 1==1
     False = 1==0

Thanks for the help. I'm in process of upgrading.
