I just installed it:

>rpm --install wxPython-2.1b3-1.i386.rpm
[root at ruby] ~>mv /usr/lib/python1.5/site-packages/wxPython
/usr/local/lib/python1.5/site-packages/wxPython
[root at ruby] ~>python
Python 1.5.2 (#4, Sep  7 1999, 16:33:21)  [GCC egcs-2.91.66 19990314/Linux

>>> import wxPython.wx

Note that wxPython installs in the wrong place, I had to move it, as you
see.
I previously installed:

    wxPython-2.1b3 requires wxGTK-2.1.0-9 available from
    http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~wxxt/download.html.

notes.

I ran the demo with no problems.

I'm running Redhat 6.0, but I'm using Python 1.5.2, installed in
/usr/local/lib/python1.5.
