[wxPython-users] ANN: wxPython 2.6.3.3

[SPE Stani's Python Editor]

Hi Robin,
Thanks for also updating the Dapper repositories. I guess not a lot of
people are aware of this. Probably because of outdated information on
the wxpython homepage:

Unfortunately this will turn a lot of people off. To boost the
popularity of wxPython on Ubuntu, I've posted a howto on the
ubuntuforums:

Feel free to use it in any way you like.

Thanks for your great work,

Stani
