I get the same error (PB G4, OS X 10.4.11, Xcode 2.5, wxWidgets 2.8.7).

Ticket #11267 has a tarball for python25 that might resolve this ticket. At least for me, this tarball fixes the python25 install, which corrects the py25-wxpython install issue on 10.5, but still works on 10.4.

I downloaded it, but how should I use it? Where can I find proper instructions?

Thanks

Some re-Build instructions are in ticket #11267, but I don't think that's the issue ... the install of python25, in my testing, has no impact on the error documented here. Following those re-Build instructions, in particular step (1) to update the installed ports

sudo port selfupdate
sudo port upgrade installed

should have taken care of this issue for most folks. For some reason it hasn't or didn't for the ticket issuer, gjznituv@gmail.com .

After some discussion back and forth with the ticket issuer, I believe it's a version mismatch between wxWidgets and py25-wxpython. In my testing, reverting back to wxWidgets 2.8.6, and trying to install py25-wxpython 2.8.7.1 results in the exact same error as documented in this ticket. I would suggest that the Portfile for py-wxpython, py25-wxpython, py30-wxpython, and so forth, include some check to make sure the version of wxWidgets is correct, as this has been an issue before and will continue to be an issue so long as the versions of wxWidgets and wxpython need to be closely linked.

I hope the issue has been fixed, if not earlier then at least by r110279. If not and if anyone is still interested after 6 years, do not hesitate to ask ;)
