Have you considered using 2.6.2 instead? It will properly include the  
bits you need (2.5.3 is part of the "system" for Tiger, which is why  
I suspect it doesn't automatically get included) and you'll benefit  
from the numerous bugfixes since 2.5.3.

wxWidgets/wxPython 2.6.3 will have support for building the wxWidgets  
part as a Universal Binary, but AFAIK Python doesn't officially have  
Universal binary support yet (though it's a work in progress), so at  
this point the wxPython wrappers would still be either PPC or Intel  
native. Once Python does have such support, we'll release a wxPython  
Universal Binary to go along with it. :-) (Barring any significant  
unforeseen problems!)

Still, I've tried several py2app bundles that include wxPython, along  
with several other C++ wrapper extensions, and they've all worked  
just fine so far under Rosetta on an Intel iMac. So there may be a  
way to resolve this issue without creating a Universal build.
