py27-wxpython : wrong architecture

[marc.schlaich@…]

After installing this package i cannot import it.

$ python

I'd assume your python is universal i386+x86_64, and since wxWidgets can only build for 32-bit archs, you would have to specifically run python in 32-bit mode to use it. e.g.

arch -i386 python2.7

So there's probably nothing that can be fixed here, unless you want to argue that python should re-execute itself as a different arch when it can't load a .so.

Has duplicate #31182.

Closing as per comment:1. Can't be fixed until wxWidgets is 64-bit.
