Thanks for the fast response. The errors were (if typing "import wx" on
python2.5 prompt:

Traceback (most recent call last):

as far as i understand i miss some critical libwx package.

There is no libwx-gtk package on the slackware netsite.
Wich packages / modules do i have to install so that the wxpython
package works ?

I used the wxpython 2.8.0.1 slackware package from 
http://www.linuxpackages.net/search_view.php?by=name&name=wxpython&ver=11.0

and converted it into a slax module with tgz2mo. (also replaced
python2.4 with python2.5: mo2dir, dir2mo)
