MacOS X 10.4 Tiger includes Python 2.3.5 and wxPython.

The issue only arises using Python 2.4.x on Tiger.  It does not arise  
with Python 2.3.x on Tiger or Python 2.4.x on Panther (MacOS 10.3.x)

As for using gcc-3.3 this is mainly because of the need for Fortran.   
gfortran while improving fast is still not production and g77 is not  
compatible with gcc-4.
