Correct, and this is what I do. I have a wx.pth symlink in my home
directory, with entries for 2.6.3.3 and 2.7.2. One is commented. I have
a script that I can run at the commandline such as:

wx stable
wx dev

Works well.

I noticed it is not even necessary to use a commented line. More
precisely, the first valid line wins.
The wx.pth file may end or not with a "\n".

wx-2.8-msw-unicode
wx-2.7.2-msw-ansi

=> wx-2.8 is used

wx-2.7.2-msw-ansi
wx-2.8-msw-unicode

=> wx-2.7.2 is used

#wx-2.8-msw-unicode
wx-2.7.2-msw-ansi

=> wx-2.7.2 is used.

#wx-2.7.2-msw-ansi
wx-2.8-msw-unicode

=> wx-2.8 is used.

Anyway, as Paul McNett has said, it is working very well.
