Actually I always have time for customer support, and in my business we offer exceptional
customer support.

But you are not a customer, haven't paid me a dime.  For you to be a customer, you would
have to had bought a support contract.

But instead, you are an old friend.

(BTW, customers take precedent over friends WRT to support.)

It works, you probably have cruft in the build directory.  Escalate through these steps
until it works:

1) from the build dir, "make clean"
Run the script again.

2) remove the build dir, after emptying it, rmdir it.
Run the script again.

The latest version lets you uncomment an OPT line near the top which brings in wxpython
support.  You can grab it from launchpad.
