What's the latest on this bug? I ran into this version confusion when trying to launch Editra (on Ubuntu 9.10 amd64):

# VersionError: Editra requires wxPython 2.8.3 or higher
              Your version is 2.6.3.2

The relevant alternatives are set thus...

$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/wx*
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2009-12-15 01:02 /etc/alternatives/wx2.5.pth -> /usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.8.pth
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 2009-12-15 01:02 /etc/alternatives/wx2.6.pth -> /usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.8.pth

...however, sys.path shows both versions of wxPython, 2.6 followed by 2.8:

>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/gtk-2.0', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode', '/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages']
