_core_.so is a Python extension module and it can be imported without a 
.py file.

Things to double-check:

* Make sure that you are not executing a different install of Python 
than what you are expecting.

* Make sure that your PYTHONPATH or your sys.path is not finding another 
wx/_core.py before the one you are expecting.  It's possible that if 
there is another one that it doesn't have the _core_.so file in the same 
place, and since_core.py does a relative import is won't find the 
expected one.
