OK, I think I managed to sort things out and they are working
for me now. I just got rid of the previous wxWidget installation
I had and installed all from scratch using wxPython.

There are two little glitches:

1. You have to compile and install the stuff in the 'contrib' dir
manually.

2. The setup.py script is a bit stupid. It assumes that you want to build with unicode support and fails, otherwise (that's what my problem
was).

Cheers,

Benjamin

wxWindows is the old name, wxWidgets is the new name.

wxPython refers to the Python bindings for wxWidgets.

The wxWidgets site claims to have GUI libs with python
support. If I install them, I get libs, header files and a config
script called wx-config. That's OK. But why does the wxPython distro
install those same files again? It also comes with a config script
called wx-config and installs headers and include files in the same
location as wxWidgets, even with the same names and same version
numbers. I am confused ...

The wxPython source distribution bundles a copy of wxWidgets. This may
not be such a great idea, but that's how it is.
