You can create some symlinks to the installed wx packages in your 2.3.3  
site-packages

ln -s /Library/Python/2.3/wx  
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site- 
packages/wx

ln -s /Library/Python/2.3/wxPython  
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site- 
packages/wxPython

There are other problems running multiple versions of python.  As long  
as you stick with compatible versions (2.3.x) it's pretty easy to deal  
with If you rename Apple's version to keep it out of the way.  You can  
even continue to use Apple's modules such as CoreGraphics (also by  
using symlinks).  I even have 2.3.4 and 2.4a3 in the same Framework and  
haven't had any problems.
