How have you installed python on Snow Leopard OSX (10.6) Series? Is your python compiled for 64 bit or 32 bit.

Try doing the following:

import platform
print platform.architecture()

Check out if the binary (wxpython dmg) was compiled for 32 or 64 bit. You might have to look for a package that is compatible with your architecture or you might have to compile from source on your machine.

I would suggest that you use macports.

1. install macports from macport.org
2. sudo /opt/local/bin/port install python27
3. sudo /opt/local/bin/port install python_select
4. sudo /opt/local/python_select python27
5. sudo /opt/local/bin/port install py27-wxpython

and this should work for you!
