Sorry I didn't see this sooner - I realise now I haven't yet subscribed
via the PTS to the new package.  Request sent to do so.

Apologies for this - I did test many of the combinations, but not those
where wxversion wasn't imported!  I was also falsely reassured by the
wxversion.py script being identical aside from some comment changes.

But looking through it for what the cause of this is, I see that the
newer python-wxversion contains wx.pth as a file rather than a symlink.

Will attempt to upload in the next few hours.

Cheers,
