wx Import Error

wxPython Users

I'm running wxPython-3.0.0.0 with wxGTK3-3.0.1 and wxGTK-2.8.12 and
python-2.7.5 on Slackware-14.1 and developing a new application. When I run
the user login module I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
   File "./pw2.py", line 3, in <module>
     import wx
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-3.0-gtk2/wx/__init__.py", line
45, in <module>
     from wx._core import *
   File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx-3.0-gtk2/wx/_core.py", line 4,
in <module>
     import _core_
ImportError: /usr/lib/libwx_gtk2u_core-3.0.so.0: symbol _ZTI10wxListBase,
version WXU_3.0 not defined in file libwx_baseu-3.0.so.0 with link time
reference

   This looks to me that Python cannot distinguish between wxGTK2 and wxGTK3.
Is this a correct assumption? If so, or if not, please educate me how to
resolve this error.

TIA,

Turns out this is/was not uncommon: folks running Arch, Red Hat, and
Ubuntu also had this problem. At the bottom of one forum I read a post by
Robin that lead me to the source of the problem.

   While I upgraded to wxPython-3.0.0.0 in April, there was some wxPython
files in /usr/local/ from March. I discovered this by removing the package
then looking for more instances of wxPython.
