So I had a weird thing happen to my wx on Ubuntu 11.04 the other day.
After an update of something not wx-related, my python-wx was horribly
broken.

You can test if that is the case with:

python -c "import wx; print wx.version()"

I was able to remedy the issue by removing and reinstalling wx:

sudo apt-get --purge remove python-wxgtk2.8 wx2.8-headers
libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-dev libwxbase2.8-0

sudo apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 wx2.8-headers libwxgtk2.8-0
libwxbase2.8-dev libwxbase2.8-0 gnuplot gnuplot-x11 isag
libwxbase2.8-0 libwxbase2.8-dev libwxgtk2.8-0 libwxgtk2.8-dev
python-wxgtk2.8 wx2.8-headers

Hope that helps you
