[Pythonmac-SIG] wxversion disappeared?

[Charles Hartman]

I did install TigerPython23Compat, but I just reinstalled to be sure.  
Then I moved Extras.pth out of /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages. Now  
when I run Python (2.4.1), wxversion still can't be found for import;  
wxPython can be imported, but it's still 2.5.5.1, not 2.6.0.
