I use gentoo but found that I can't rely on any of the gentoo packages
like gtkscintilla because they are usually out of date compared to
what the current wxPython needs.  I pretty much just follow Robin's
instructions by downloading the source archive
wxPython-src-2.8.6.1.tar.bz2, untarring it, and then using the
attached .configure and .make scripts.  So, I do this:

cd wxPython-2.8.6.1
mkdir bld
# copy .configure and .make into bld; edit --prefix to suit your install
cd bld
. .configure
. .make
. .make install
cd ../wxPython
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

HTH,

Rob
