This looks like a wxPython problem, not a Python problem.
It might well be a version issue for you guys, but it's
more likely that a certain wxPython version is the culprit,
not a certain Python version.

Note however that the OP is using Linux, where the wxWidgets
uses completely different libraries, and that's where the
problem occurs. Besides, it's not a Python exception in the
Debian testing case, it's a segmentation fault in the
underlying GLib code that causes Python to crash.

BTW, Is the current Debian testing really equipped with
Python 2.3.5? It's a very sorry state of affairs if the
testing version of a major Linux release isn't using
Python 2.4, which was released in November 2004.

I can understand why people a leaving stock Debian for
Ubuntu...
