If you have more than one version of wxPython installed this module
allows your application to choose which version of wxPython will be
-imported when it does 'import wx'. You use it like this::
+imported when it does 'import wx'. The main function of this module
+is `select` and you use it like this::
import wxversion
wxversion.select('2.4')
import wx
-Or additional build options can also be selected, like this::
+Or additional build options can also be selected, although they will
+not be required if they are not installed, like this::
import wxversion
wxversion.select('2.5.3-unicode')
import wx
+Or you can require an exact match on the build options like this::
+
+ import wxversion
+ wxversion.select('2.5.3-unicode', optionsRequired=True)
+ import wx
+
+Finally you can also specify a collection of versions that are allowed
+by your application, like this::
+
+ import wxversion
+ wxversion.select(['2.5.4', '2.5.5', '2.6'])
+ import wx
+
+
Of course the default wxPython version can also be controlled by
setting PYTHONPATH or by editing the wx.pth path configuration file,
but using wxversion will allow an application to manage the version

Search for a wxPython installation that matches version. If one
