I think you were probably referring to this:

http://lists.wxwidgets.org/pipermail/wxpython-dev/2008-January/003731.html

It would be nice to be able to rely on easy_install for everything,  
but it sounds as if still some work needs to be done for wx. In  
general, since things are developer-targeted, in the beginning we can  
get away with "use Chandler's RunPython", though.
