wxpython-2.6.3.3 has some fixes for this.
Unfortunately I'll need a bit more to put this in the tree, but in the risk of
missing out some other fixes, python2.5 support could be tested out by copying
wxpython-2.6.3.2 to wxpython-2.6.3.3, and changing the SRC_URI ending from .gz
to .bz2

Does 2.6.3.3 fix problems for python2.5? The changelog states that there
_might_ be remaining problems for 64-bit support.

It merged successfully for me on amd64 with version 2.6.3.3, achieved by
renaming the ebuild and changing the download URL.  I also had to change the
minimum version of wxGTK in the ebuild to 2.6.3.2 explicitly.

wxpython-2.6.3.3 fixed the problem here.
