wxPython w/ python 2.4 on debian

Hi all,

I’m trying to install wxPython on a Debian machine with both Python 2.3 and 2.4 installed. Whenever I run apt-get python-wxgtk2.4 it installs under the Python 2.3 path. Is there some way to force it to install under the 2.4 path? Or, am I installing the wrong package? If so, which is the package that I want?

Thanks,
Aaron

I think that the package was build for python 2.3. It has confirmed by
this page:
packages.debian.org/stable/python/libwxgtk2.4-python
because it depend on python 2.3

BTW: Way wx 2.4? Install wx 2.6!

Try to compile wx yourself. It's simple following the wxpython.org
instructions.

Download the sources and build wxwidgets. After, you have to create two
distinct installation for python 2.3 and 2.4. (I think that you have to
specify the destination with the PYTHONPATH environment variable)

Thanks, Aaron
