If I export PYTHONPATH :

export
PYTHONPATH=/Users/me/Desktop/python_client_deps/wxPython-src-2.8.10.1/wxPython

What I don't get is why the installed version doesn't get picked up in
site-packages. It has a wx.path in site-packages :

$ cat /Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx.pth
wx-2.8-mac-unicode

so I don't get why it's not getting picked up, any ideas?
