Huh?  wxPythonGTK requires GTK runtimes as well:

$ ldd libwx_gtk2_core-2.5.so> /tmp/foo
	linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
	libz.so.1 => /lib/libz.so.1 (0x4028d000)
	libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x4029e000)
	libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgtk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x402a1000)
	libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk-x11-2.0.so.0 (0x40585000)
	libatk-1.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libatk-1.0.so.0 (0x405fa000)
	libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 => /usr/lib/libgdk_pixbuf-2.0.so.0 (0x40616000)
        [...]

If you run wxPython on top of some other toolkit, then you'll
need that toolkit's runtimes instead of GTK.
