Same here, just tried python 2.3 and the latest of pygame/wx again today, and 
no go that I could determine, which is a pity. Pygame refuses the 
pygame.display.set_mode((x,y)) call, crashing out rather badly. could well be 
wxpython causing the problem, not sure.

Pygame does however run just fine as a seperate window in the same app as wx- 
although pygame event handling seems to give lockups at times (luckily I 
don't need it anyway) - havn't tested the even problem in 2.3 yet.

Now if only I could find a way of doing a glReadPixels at more than a crawl I 
could go to sleep tonight :( dreading having to go through the directX route 
to the same windows framebuffer and try and read the data that way - very 
ugly!
