I'm no Python expert, but anway...

1) You say you have Python 2.6 installed. Do you mean the partial Python installation that comes built into most Puppies, or do you mean you actually did an installation of a full Python 2.6.x package?

I wouldn't try to do any serious Python development without doing an installation of the complete Python package, rather than relying what's in Puppy, even including what's in the devx SFS.

When I was tinkering with Python on Puppy 4.2.1, I installed the full Python package from ActiveState and can highly recommend it.

2) I assume "wxversion" is part of the "wxPython" package. You say you installed "wxversion" but did you install the full wxPython package? If your app wants "wxversion" it presumably needs all of wxPython as well. WxPython is not part of standard Python, it is an extension package that needs to be added separately.
