+swig-1.3.29.patch
+
+    SWIG changed how the import statements are output to the proxy
+    file, but this also caused the order to change (they all moved to
+    the very top of the file) so this broke the module docstring, as
+    well as some behavior that Chandler development is depending upon,
+    so this patch changes back to how it was done in prior releases.
+
+    Changed the exception message used for TypeErrors to make a little
+    more sense.
+
+    Added support for dropping the leading wx from wxNames using
+    %rename("%(wxpy)s") ""; 
+
+    Don't set a module attribute for the *_swigregister functions,
+    just call the one in the extension module directly.
+
+    Fixes to allow compiling with Python 2.5 headers.

+
+swig-1.3.27.patch
+
+    SWIG changed slightly how the runtime type_info data is structured
+    in order to optimize load time and runtime access.  wxPython
+    uncovered a bug in the implementation, so this patch includes the
+    fix that was checked in to CVS for 1.3.28.
