At least we're making some progress :-)

How did you install the new wxPython? Did you install a binairy  
distribution for Panther? If you did you should also install  
TigerPython23Compat from http://pythonmac.org/packages. The location  
of the side-packages directory changed in 10.4.

BTW. Removing files in /Library is perfectly valid, changing stuff  
in /System is a no-no. It is possible to remove Apple's version of  
wxPython without removing Extras.pth, but I won't tell you how ;-)
