I didn't misunderstand - you're asking for mis+match of wx-related (to include wxWidgets and wxPython) packages between releases, which isn't supported. wxPython is a Python wrapper for wxWidgets, so it is by necessity tightly coupled with wxWidgets. I'll try to find a way to tighten wxPython's dependency on be >= the wxWidgets it was compiled with.
