It does add extra code to the build but probably not enough to
worry about it. However if you want to get as lean a build as
possible you can leave it out, but if your code does something bad

<p>If you are building a private copy of wxWidgets (IOW, not installed
in a standard library location) then it can be kind of a hassle to
always have to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable so wxPython can

10.3 (Panther) Apple supplies the Python Framework as part of the
OS install, but it will be located in /System/Library/Frameworks

although they will still be visible from site-packages. If you are
building distributions of wxPython to be installed on other
machines be careful to install to /Library/Python/2.3. To
