You should consider this a feature. This way each app can have its own  
version of wxPython. You also don't end in dll hell or need to keep the wx  
version separate. After all wxPython has only a payload of maybe 10 MB or  
so. Even if you install 50 apps which use wxPython this takes up 0.5gb  
which is neglible imo.
The windows model handles this just a lot better. The worst thing ever  
about linux is package hell.
