Wx Demos using wrong version of Python

[Tony Cappellini]

I've got Python 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 installed on a Windows machine, and a
corresponding version of wx for each Python installation.
However, currently, only Python 2.5 is in my path.
I've installed the wx Demos while Python 2.5 was in my path (even though it
doesn't get installed under the Python 2.5 tree).

When I launch any of the demos, Python 2.3.5 is displayed, instead of Python
2.5.

I don't understand why this is happening, when ONLY python 2.5 is in my
path.

Correct.  And you can also edit this file yourself if you would like to
manually change which wxPython is imported by default without using
wxversion.
