This version check is failing with 2.8.8.0 on the Mac even if the  
correct version is installed. It may be failing with other version  
too.  wx.__version__ looks for wxpython SOURCE (*.py) files that are  
not currently being included in the wxpython binary installer for some  
reason. The object files are correct and being installed (*.pyo).

Why not just use wx.version()? It gives the correct response  
regardless of whether the source files are installed or not.
