William, in the future, if you are having this sort of a problem, you can 
start a python shell, type "help", type "modules", and if you do not see the 
module that you think you should be seeing, you can be sure it got installed 
somewhere that is not in PYTHONPATH. As you have discovered, that is possible 
when you have more than one Python installation. Python modules, like 
wxPython, typically get installed in the site-packages directory so you could 
also just look in the filesystem.

While you are developing Python apps, you will also find that you will have to 
add things to PYTHONPATH in order to be able to import them into the 
namespace. I usually do this by just having a shell script to wrap the main 
Python script to export my paths so that the changes to PYTHONPATH are not 
persistent.
