The problem is probably that it's older. I'm guessing it's either a
bug that's been fixed or something that's deprecated. The wxPython
website details how to get the latest version of wxPython (2.8.4)
here: http://wxpython.org/download.php

I'm not an expert with the wxPython errors. I would recommend that you
also ask at the wxPython user's group: http://wxpython.org/maillist.php

Hope that helps a little!
