wxPython is NOT a separate version of Python it is only a set of 
modules and tools. It works with your existing Python. There is 
no magic involved it is just like the winall package or any other 
set of modules. Nothing changes except that you can now 

>>> from wxPython.wx import *

and not get an error!

Similarly PyCrust and PyShell are simply programs written in 
Python that get *added* to your PC. They do not change your 
existing Python installation in any way.
