wxPython install issue

Hi,

I follow the instructions in
http://www.gnuradio.org/trac/wiki/wxPythonCygwin to install wxPython.
The
environment is cygwin with python 2.5.1. But the process stalled in step
9.
There is a build error and the error message is:


$ python setup.py build_ext --inplace WXPORT=msw COMPILER=cygwin

ValueError: invalid version number ‘2.18.50.20080523’


Has some one observed the same thing?

As a sideline, by googling “ValueError: invalid version number
‘2.18.50.20080523’”, I found this
http://groups.google.nl/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/7a07a8033332db17.
It seems that similiar problem has been observed for python 2.5.2.
