Mac 2.8.7.1 installer failing for me

I found the log (Menu->Window->Show Log). It looks like this may be causing problems:

...

Dec 11 17:14:41 love : Install failed: The following install step failed: run postflight script for wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-universal-py2.3

So, if this is the problem it looks like my version of XRCed/attribute.py (which according to the change doc) is new and doesn't like my version of python.

Can I get an older version of wxPython without the new XRCed?

I downloaded the latest installer for Mac (2.8.7.1). I used the unicode version, since the last one I had (2.5.3.1) was unicode.

I'm running 10.4 and python 2.3.

During the installation all the files seem to be copied properly (they are in /Library/Python/2.3/wx-2.8-mac-unicode), but right after the dialog says "Running <big long file name> installer script" it errors out. I tried to see if the installer is just wrong about it having an error, but when I do "echo 'import wx; print wx.VERSION' | python" it tells me I'm using 2.5.

I looked in "Console" for an error message, but I didn't see any.
