AFAIUI, it's not possible to say "2.8+" == "2.8 and all the higher
versions", but we can specify a list of version to be searched, the
first match is the one "mapped" as default wx. If no-one of the
specified version are available, then an exception is thrown:
>>> import wxversion
>>> wxversion.select(['2.5','2.3','2.9'])
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
File "/usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/wxversion.py", line 149, in select
raise VersionError("Requested version of wxPython not found")
wxversion.VersionError: Requested version of wxPython not found
>>> wxversion.select(['2.5','2.3','2.8'])
>>> import wx
>>> wx.__version__
'2.8.7.1'
In any case, the example code doesn't work with wx2.6 so, as even a
temporary workaround, I think we should enforce the needs for wx2.8.
