All *.pth files are loaded, and probably in no particular order.  So 
having both wx*.pth files will cause both paths to be added to the 
sys.path.  You might want to consider just having one file and edit it 
when you want to change the default.  I think you can have # comments in 
the file so you could have both paths listed in there, and just comment 
out the one you don't want to be active.
