Hi,

I have just managed to install in Mint 17 with python scripting turned on.  I 
downloaded python-wxgtk3.0 and python-wxgtk3.0-dev from the ubuntu utopic 
(14.10) repositories on the web.  Just install by double-clicking them in the 
file manager.

http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/python-wxgtk3.0
http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/python-wxgtk3.0-dev

The kicad-install.sh script needs a couple more install dependencies if you turn 
scripting on:

swig
libpython-dev

After installing all of that I could turn on scripting, and it built and runs 
and now shows a scripting console in the tools menu of pcbnew.

Hope that helps for those using Mint or Ubuntu.

Moses
