strange copy_file logic in wxPython 2.6.3.3 setup.py file

[Charl P. Botha]

Dear all,

In the wxPython 2.6.3.3 setup.py we find the following code:

for bo_name in ["build_options.py", "build_options.pyc"]:
    if os.path.exists(bo_name):
        os.remove(bo_name)
.
.
.
copy_file('config.py', 'wx/build', update=1, verbose=1)
copy_file('build_options.py', 'wx/build', update=1, verbose=1)

So, it's removing the build_options.py, and then it's trying to copy
this file to wx/build.  On my system, this is resulting in an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 50, in <module>
    copy_file('build_options.py', 'wx/build', update=1, verbose=1)
  File "/data/tmp/wd/inst/python/lib/python2.5/distutils/file_util.py",
line 119, in copy_file
    "can't copy '%s': doesn't exist or not a regular file" % src
distutils.errors.DistutilsFileError: can't copy 'build_options.py':
doesn't exist or not a regular file

Was this a typo, or am I missing something?  Commenting out that
copy_file line fixes the problem.  Comments?

Thanks,
Charl
