multi version installs on OSX not working when run from Finder, wxversion.select() not working either

Hi,

I want to install 2.8.10.1 and 2.9.3.1 together, including the demos.
But the demos both use the newer version.

Putting wxversion.select("2.8") in Main.py in the demo bundle does not
work either, it throws me an error:

10-04-12 23:30:30,908 [0x0-0xb93b93].wxPython Demo: File "/usr/local/lib/wxPython-2.9.3.1/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wxversion.py", line 152, in select
10-04-12 23:30:30,908 [0x0-0xb93b93].wxPython Demo: raise VersionError("Requested version of wxPython not found")

How can I make this work?

Thanks,
Antonio

With the current way that wxPython is installed on OSX it wxversion can't work. The best you can do currently is to install different wxPythons for different Pythons. For example, install wxPython 2.8.12.1 for Python 2.6 and wxPython 2.9.3.1 for Python 2.7.
