It wasn't easy figuring out I needed to type "sudo pip uninstall wx" to fix
wx. A python beginner would have had a terrible time with this.

I realize we don't want to start squat-wars. But pypi's wx is a 5 liner
that absolutely no person would ever want installed. At the least, pip
should warn me when I install "wx" that it's probably not what I'm looking
for.
