Ok, I'd forgotten to run the install step so it wasn't in my
site-packages. :

/Users/grossetti/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/bin/python.mine setup.py install
--prefix=/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root
WX_CONFIG=/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/bin/wx-config

I tried to export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH :

export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/lib to see if
it at least works like that but I get the following error :

$ Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/bin/python.mine
Python 2.5.4 (r254:67916, Sep 23 2009, 17:37:07)

  Referenced from:

  Expected in: dynamic lookup

I don't get it, I did the following :

nm
/Users/me/Desktop/Python-Mac-Root/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/_core_.so
| grep __ZN12wxSizerFlags24ReserveSpaceEvenIfHiddenEv
         U __ZN12wxSizerFlags24ReserveSpaceEvenIfHiddenEv

so it's there, any ideas?
