How so? Difficult, maybe, but it shouldn't be confusing:

wxPython is 32 bit, you need to use it with 32 bit Python.

It's 32 bit because it is built on top of Carbon, which is 32 bit. There 
is a Cocoa version in the works, which I think will be released soon, 
and it should be full on 64 bit, but I don't know when it will be 
complete/robust enough for general use.

I'm quite happy with wx for MPL and all sorts of other stuff, though I"m 
not on Snow Leopard yet, either.
