Python 2.4.1 does not look at /Library/Python/2.3, that's only for  
Python 2.3.x.

I've installed wxPython2.6-osx-unicode-2.6.0.0-macosx10.3-py2.3.dmg  
and TigerPython23Compat

$ ls /Library/Python/2.3
site-packages           wx.pth
wx-2.6-mac-unicode      wxversion.py

$ cd /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages
$ mv Extras.pth Extra.pth.sv

$ python2.3
Python 2.3.5 (#1, Mar 20 2005, 20:38:20)
[GCC 3.3 20030304 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 1809)] on darwin
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
 >>> import wx
 >>> wx.__version__
'2.6.0.0'

python2.3 correctly picks up the new version of wxPython. If you want  
to use wxPython 2.6 in python 2.3 and in python 2.4 you'll have to  
download two installers, one for every version of python.
