Public bug reported:
In Jaunty, when both python-wxgtk2.6 and python-wxgtk2.8 are installed, this
happens by default:
>>> import wx
>>> wx.VERSION
(2, 6, 3, 2, '')
In Intrepid, this happens by default:
>>> import wx
>>> wx.VERSION
(2, 8, 8, 0, '')
The behaviour in Jaunty looks like a bug to me.
Moreover in Jaunty 2.8 seems to be configured as the default:
$ ls /etc/alternatives | grep wx
wx2.5.pth
wx2.6.pth
$ sudo update-alternatives --config wx2.6.pth
[sudo] password for stani:
Er zijn 2 alternatieven die 'wx2.6.pth' voorzien.
Selectie Alternatieven
-----------------------------------------------
*+ 1 /usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.8.pth
2 /usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.6.pth
So with "update-alternatives" I can't select that "import wx", imports
wxPython 2.8
In Jaunty if I look to wx.pth:
$ cat /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx.pth
wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode
In Jaunty many wx*.pth are added in comparison to Intrepid (but this is
probably irrelevant):
$ locate .pth | grep wx
/etc/alternatives/wx2.5.pth
/etc/alternatives/wx2.6.pth
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode.pth
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx.pth
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx.pth
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode.pth
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx.pth
/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx.pth
/usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.8.pth
/usr/share/pyshared/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode.pth
/usr/share/pyshared/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode/wx.pth
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/wx2.5.pth
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/wx2.6.pth
In Intrepid this gives:
$ locate .pth | grep wx
/etc/alternatives/wx2.4.pth
/etc/alternatives/wx2.5.pth
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/wx.pth
/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx.pth
/usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.6.pth
/usr/lib/wx/python/wx2.8.pth
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/wx2.4.pth
/var/lib/dpkg/alternatives/wx2.5.pth
In Jaunty:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python2.6', '/usr/lib/python2.6/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-old',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/lib-dynload', '/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/Numeric',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/PIL',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gst-0.10',
'/var/lib/python-support/python2.6',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/gtk-2.0',
'/var/lib/python-support/python2.6/gtk-2.0',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.6-gtk2-unicode',
'/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode']
In Intrepid:
>>> import sys
>>> sys.path
['', '/usr/lib/python2.5', '/usr/lib/python2.5/plat-linux2',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-tk', '/usr/lib/python2.5/lib-dynload',
'/usr/local/lib/python2.5/site-packages', '/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/Numeric',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/PIL',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/gst-0.10',
'/var/lib/python-support/python2.5',
'/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/gtk-2.0',
'/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-gtk2-unicode']
So in Jaunty both wx-2.6 and wx2.8 are added to the sys.path, while in Intrepid
only wx-2.8 was present.
To me it seems like a bug that both wx 2.6 and 2.8 are in sys.path
See also this discussion on the wxpython users mailing list upstream:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.wxpython/70340
Some wxpython programs are now showing bugs as they are not compatible
anymore with wxpython2.6
If possible, I would like to see this fixed that in Jaunty (like in
intrepid) wxPython 2.8 is the default if both 2.6 and 2.8 are installed
or that at least the user can configure it in a way.

since Jaunty python-wxgtk2.6 should not take priority by default over
