   Probably not. I do not recall exactly how versions 2.4 and 2.6 were
installed. Otherwise, running 'upgradepkg ...' would have done a clean
replacement.

   I have a wxpython.SlackBuild script from France, but I'm not sure if its
prefix is where I really want the installation.

   Thank you. I followed the build/install instructions on the wxPython
download page which is why I made /opt/wx/2.8.

   We need both wxWidgets and wxPython, and I've no idea what executables are
needed nor where any files should be other than in
/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages.

   I'd like to clean out all the files/directories that aren't needed, but I
don't now know what's safe to remove. That's why it's time to clean up the
mess.
