[Freewx-maint] Bug#758209: wxpython3.0: cannot import 2.8 anymore

[Julian Taylor]

Package: wxpython3.0
Version: 3.0.0.0+dfsg-3
Severity: serious

the change of wxversion to 3.0 prevents importing wx if only 2.8 is
installed.
This breaks for example matplotlib which still depends on wxgtk2.8.
See e.g. the autopkgtest in ubuntu:

https://jenkins.qa.ubuntu.com/view/Utopic/view/AutoPkgTest/job/utopic-adt-matplotlib/60/?

Or in an unstable chroot:

apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8
python -c "import wx"
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<string>", line 1, in <module>
ImportError: No module named wx
