Thanks... but... ;-)  I guess I've mixed and matched from non-Fedora
sources more than I remembered. Should I then repackage the wxPython
that I got from the Python web site, since it goes by a rather ungainly
name and appears to be ahead of what's in Extras?  Specifically should
I try to make the names of the following more closely match Fedora's?
What I've installed are:

  wxPython2.6-devel-gtk2-unicode-2.6.1.0-1_py2.4.i386.rpm
  wxPython2.6-gtk2-unicode-2.6.1.0-1_py2.4.i386.rpm
  wxPython-common-gtk2-unicode-2.6.1.0-1_py2.4.i386.rpm

which I built from:

    wxPython2.6-2.6.1.0-1_py2.4.src.rpm

And a naive question: Why didn't rpm complain when I installed my
boa-constructor, since none of my packages is named wxPython?
("rpm -q wxPython" reports that no such beastie is installed.)
