[SciPy] Crash prevents me from plotting

Anyone SciPy using here? Seems to be a great package, so I downloaded it
today. Alas, I could not get it to plot.

So here is what I have so far:

Steps to reproduce the crash (you can drop the version stuff):

ActivePython 2.2.1 Build 222 (ActiveState Corp.) based on
Python 2.2.1 (#34, Apr 15 2002, 09:51:39) [MSC 32 bit (Intel)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import Numeric
>>> Numeric.__version__
'23.0'
>>> import wxPython
>>> wxPython.__version__
'2.4.0.6'
>>> import scipy
>>> scipy.__version__
'0.2.0_alpha_182.4041'
>>> from Numeric import *
>>> import gui_thread
>>> from scipy import plt
>>> x = arange(11.)*(2*pi)/10.
>>> y = sin(x)
>>> plt.plot(x,y)

What I'd expected:

A sine graph.


What I got:

A moment before the GPF window opens, I can see
"C:\Programme\Python22\Lib\site-packages\scipy\plt\plot_objects.py:61:
DeprecationWarning: Use Python's
  wx.wxNORMAL,wx.false,"Arial")"
which does not seem critical to me.

Firing up the debugger tells me, that a module caused Python to read from
address 0x00000000,
which results in an access violation.


I suspect, that SciPy relies on an older version of wxPython. But I could
not find in the dox, which one it expects. Any idea?

P.S.: The whole thing happens on Windows XP Prof. I installed both Numeric
and SciPy
today with the binary installers.
