Request version bump for wxpython, to match most recent version of wxGTK available in portage.

please bump this for allowing me to fix bug 127966.

2.6.3.0 is out, and after upgrading to wxGTK-2.6.3 (bug 127734) just renaming the current ebuild and patch worked fine (it failed to compile with wxGTK-2.6.2-r1 installed though).

2.6.3.2 is out by now too.
After installing wxGTK-2.6.3.2 from bug 127734, and copying ebuild and patch for new version number (2.6.3.2) it emerged fine on my system.

The ebuild is quite outdated and problematic, however.
It still would follow the gtk1/gtk2 selection stuff that was removed in wxGTK-2.6.2.ebuild, so it will fail with certain USE flag usage.
Also it depends on any wxGTK-2.6*, which will not work well in combination of older wxGTK versions than wxPython is.
wxPython suggests the usage of a completely matching wxGTK versions - which is wxGTK-2.6.3.2 in this case, available from my attachment in bug #127734.
So, it should certainly be >=x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.3, if not =x11-libs/wxGTK-2.6.3*

I'm not sure if this should stop a wxPython-2.6.3.x appearing in portage ~arch.
Probably.
Personally I can look into fixing the ebuild up before the weekend or beginning next week.
