Intrepid Ibex, updated as of 2008-08-10, amd64 version.
after installation, the bitpim application refuses to start, with the following showing in terminal:
$ bitpim
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/share/bitpim/code/bp.py", line 20, in <module>
    import bp_cli
  File "/usr/share/bitpim/code/bp_cli.py", line 21, in <module>
    import bp_config
  File "/usr/share/bitpim/code/bp_config.py", line 19, in <module>
    import guihelper
  File "/usr/share/bitpim/code/guihelper.py", line 23, in <module>
    import wx
ImportError: No module named wx

This seems like a missing dependency issue.
To resolve it one needs to install the: python-wxgtk2.8 package.
