Not for 2.9. The 2.8 packages are in the repo at apt.wxwidgets.org, but
nobody has been maintaining the debian scripts for 2.9 because the
official package maintainers said that they would be taking it over.

I'll probably put something together for Phoenix one of these days
though, probably with a private copy of the wx shared libraries so it
won't conflict with the official packages. (And so I can make sure the
runtime assertions support is turned on.)

ok, thank you. In the meanwhile i built from source the 2.9.4.0
tarball. I did the following steps after applying the 2.9.4.1 patch as
you advised on the google group :

$ cd wxpython
$ ./build-wxpython
$ ./build-wxpython --install

the latest input installs all the libraries in the default 'local'
paths :

/usr/local/include ; /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages

after that :

$ sudo ldconfig

finally i set the wx version in my source python file with these lines
of code :

import wxversion
wxversion.select('2.9')
import wx

it seemed to work fine. Was I wrong or not ? To uninstall the
libraries, can i simply delete the installation directories of the
libraries and then from shell again run the command :

sudo ldconfig

is this the right way ?
