It would here too, but I am referring to wxPython and not Python.  In 
both systems there is:

$ eselect python list
Available Python interpreters:
   [1]   python2.7 *
   [2]   python3.3

I also installed wxPython 2.9.4.1-r2 in the "faulty" box, so both 
systems do have:

$ eselect wxwidgets list
Available wxWidgets profiles:
   [1]   gtk2-unicode-2.9 *

I recompiled but it didn't help :-(.  I will search for Gentoo/Funtoo 
support elsewhere than here.  Thank you Markus,
