The hack solution for now is for me to use a wxPython built on Jaguar  
<G>. I'll rebuild and post sometime, probably sometime today. I'll also  
switch the link to /usr/bin/python which should solve the  
/Sys/Lib/Frameworks problem. I've seen discussions of this issue  
(static linking of libiconv) so I will revisit them and see if they  
have a solution for this issue already.

Thanks,
