@Steve: This incorrect. SPE is compatible with python 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, but not with wxPython2.8

@strottman: This is indeed the most minimal fix possible. However I wouldn't recommend running SPE with wxPython 2.5, so I would use this line:
wxversion.select('2.6')

But if someone is going to package this fix, do not forget in the debian rules to put the dependancy of spe on python-wxgkt2.6 (so 2.8 is not compatible!).

SPE 0.8.2.a was still developed on Windows. After that I made the switch myself to Ubuntu. So actually the above fix is only a minor one. If you want to run SPE with better integration with Ubuntu (nautilus, gnome-terminal, ...), you should use the latest spe 0.8.4.b from subversion:
svn checkout svn://svn.berlios.de/python/spe/trunk/_spe

Also this version fixes a lot of bugs which made SPE crash on Ubuntu. The main problem with the repository is that is an orphaned package in the debian repositories, which is synced with universe. So as long as there is no debian packager taking care of it, the package will stay broken.
