_wxagg.so is a piece of extension code we used to efficiently transfer portions of the agg canvas to the wx canvas. Starting with wxpython 2.8, it became possible to do this with pure python using python buffer objects, so we turned it off by default. If you are using wxpython 2.6, and need this functionality, eg for some of the matplotlib widgets or animation techniques described at http://www.scipy.org/Cookbook/Matplotlib/Animations simply set BUILD_WXAGG=1 in setup..py and rebuild mpl.
