1) I had to tweak my Python directory. I noticed, that the wxPython setup
created a subdirectory, called Scripts, in the Python2.3 dir. This subdiretory
contains wxPython stuff.
I think this is *not a good idea*. Keep the 'true' python dir for the original Python stuff and
put the wxPython stuff in ..\Lib\site-packages. Where do we go if every third-party
application is modifying the original python dir? Beside this, Scripts is not a very informative
name. There are probably thousands hard disks around the world having Scripts as directory
name. Why not wxScripts?
2) I'm still thinking, a subdirectory called py is stupid.

Because the Python installer itself creates the scripts dir if you select to install the "Tools" component or something like that. (At least it did in Python <= 2.2, I wasn't paying attention when I installed 2.3.) I've seen other add on modules put scripts there too.
