Package: python-wxgtk2.6
Version: 2.6.1.2
Severity: important

If libwxgtk2.4-python is installed, the WX utility xpngcc in my package
xpilot-ng-common breaks.  Clearly I could work around the problem by conflicting
with libwxgtk2.4-python in xpilot-ng-common, but I don't understand why bits of
python-wxgtk2.6 are apparently trying to load code from libwxgtk2.4-python.  By
experimentation, I did what xpngcc does, which is:

>>> import wx
>>> print wx.VERSION
(2, 6, 1, 2, 'pre')

But a user reports that when libwxgtk2.4-python is installed on his system, 
xpngcc
throws this error:

TypeError: new_wxPanel() takes at least 2 arguments (1 given)
in /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages/wxPython/windows.py

Performing "dpkg -S" on the user's system reveals that this file 
is owned by libwxgtk2.4-python.  I don't think this should happen.

Therefore, I conclude that python-wxgtk2.6 in its current state must conflict
with libwxgtk2.4-python.  Obviously that is bad news for the 6 packages that
still depend on the older library, but I can't see how it can be avoided.

If I have missed some other way to resolve this within xpilot-ng-common itself,
please provide an adequate explanation and reassign the bug to xpilot-ng-common.

Thanks,
Ben Armstrong
