Back in May 2008 when we were asked to add wxPython I either couldn't find 
them in the external repos I knew about or the versions I could find 
wanted to pull in updated versions of core packages I didn't want 
changing, or we had some other problem with them (I forget which).

So I rolled my own basedon the then-current fedora development srpm.

Things may have moved on wrt the versions in other repos so you may find 
that easier but if you can't find versions which work for you then you are 
welcome to try the wxPython (2.8.7.1 based) packages we use...

From about the same time we have ipython packages (the same people wanted 
both which is why I'm mentoning it).

Sadly I can no longer remember if we needed to build (or grab from 
elsewhere) any other 'support' packages for these...
