Yup, though probably the sysadmin wants to do the fix for all its
users at once. On the other hand, it had to be done as a Python script
for us rather than the shell one-liner because, for other technical
reasons, I currently need to call this script from Sage using python.
Would you mind posting the python script also?

Definitely. Just a workaround.

Well, the real fix would be to have wx python work in 64bit in the
first place. But I don't know if we have much influence on that. The
installer would be nice for users, but not work for us, since we start
runsnake from Sage, and not by hand.

It is! Thanks!
