cannot use python-wxgtk2.8 after uninstalling python-wxgtk2.6

[Enrique]

 I have installed first python-wxgtk2.8:
# apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8

 Then I run python and I can succesfully import wx

Then I install version 2.6:
# apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6

I still can import wx.

 Then I remove version 2.6:
#apt-get purge python-wxgtk2.6

 which leaves python-wxgtk2.8 still installed, but then I cannot import wx:
ImportError: No module named wx

It seems that installing and uninstalling python-wxgtk2.6 doesn't leave the things in the previous state.

Release: Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

try reinstalling python-wxversion:
apt-get install --reinstall python-wxversion

I ran into the same issue and was able to fix it with "sudo aptitude reinstall python-wxgtk2.8 python-wxversion"
