wxPython and Linux dependencies

[diffuser78 at gmail.com]

Let me explain and give you some more details.

When I type "python" at the command prompt it shows the following info.
python 2.3.4 (#Feb 01 2005), GCC 3.4.3 20041212  Red Hat 3.4.3-9.EL4 on
linux2


In /usr/lib/ there are two directories called python 2.3 and python 2.4

In /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages I could NOT find anything related
to wx and in particular

wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode
wx.pth
wxversion.py
wxversion.pyc


In /usr/lib/python2.4/ there is only one folder called site-packages
and NO other files.

So /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/ has only one folder called
"wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode" and a file called " wx.pth" and another file
wx.version.py (and its compiler version wx.version.pyc). wx.pth
contains wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode

So, what my feeling is that I have python 2.3 and wx package is for
2.4. So my installed variant cannot find the wx package.

What is the easiest way from this point on to get my small wxPython app
running ???

Every help is appreciated.
