Comment 10 for bug 176670

Well, I've tested with debian sid/squeeze and ubuntu maverick/lucid. I'll check again once I get home, but as long as the packages I have installed in my system are from the official repo, I don't see how this could be. The only thing I can find is that my system has python-wxgtk2.6 installed. Do you have that?
Also, upgrading pype solves the problem, maybe the older pype chooses the wrong version of python-wxgtk if both 2.6 and 2.8 is installed?
Anyway, pype should be newer varsion, the debian maintainer abandoned the package in 2006, but didn't bother to file a rfa bug in debian, so the package has been unmaintained since.
