I believe that the wxPython web page warns that the Unicode build may 
not work properly under Win9x, because those versions of Windows don't 
have full Unicode support -- from the wxPython website, "It will also 
mostly work on Windows 95/98/Me systems, but it is a bit of a hack-job." 
 So it's not too surprising that something like Boa, which stretches 
wxPython to its fullest, has problems running the Unicode build on the 
Win9x series...

Glad that works for you.  :)  Btw, if you have further problems with 
wxPython or Boa, you'll probably get a more effective response from the 
wxPython-users mailing list (see http://wxpython.org/maillist.php) than 
here...
