That is a reference to wxPython. wxPython is a thin wrapper around
the wxWidgets c++ library. But really, it has grown quite a bit
lately and has a bunch of neato widgets that aren't included with
wxWidgets c++.

I fight the python24_d.lib problem with swig daily. The way I got
around it was to modify swig's python configuration module. Mine was

Dictionary keys have no defined order. This is what the docs say about that:
Keys and values are listed in random order. If items(), keys(),
values(), iteritems(), iterkeys(), and itervalues() are called with no
intervening modifications to the dictionary, the lists will directly
correspond.
