The standard OS X installer program makes the log available for the 
current install: in the installer menu, check Window -> Installer Log.  
After you've quit the installer, the log for that session may be saved 
on disk, most likely as an install.log file in /var/log.  The OS X 
Console.app, found in /Applications/Utilites, makes it easy to find and 
examine log files.

I'm not a wxPython user but one thing to watch out for is an 
architecture mismatch.  I see the standard wxPython.org binaries are 
built for 32-bit Pythons only.  So, if you are using a Python 2.7 from a 
python.org installer, you should be using the 32-bit-only (10.3+) 
installer variant and not the 64-bit/32-bit (10.6-only) variant.
