Do you need to build from source?  It is usually easier to use
prebuilt binaries.  The wxPython installer has wxMSW included with it.

Yes.  "wxPython" is the package.  Case matters, but windows isn't
helpful about it.  Also, I don't think putting it in c:\python21 will
help.  Try putting the wxPython directory in c:\pyhon21\Lib.  Or just
add <path to wxPython dir> to PYTHONPATH or make a .pth file in
c:\python21 that has <path to wxPython dir> on a line.

On this system (a win2k box) I have  (using cygwin, //d is d:, ls is
like dir, cat displays the contents of a file)

$ pwd
//d/apps/Python20

$ ls *.pth
other_packages.pth

$ cat other_packages.pth
d:\lib\python_packages

$ ls //d/lib/python_packages/
wxPython/
