I was trying to install wxPython earlier today.  Not RTFMing, I tried 
'easy_install wx', which ended up installing this strange module: 
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wx

Looking at the download stats, it seems to be confusing ~1000 users a 
month, while not providing any significant functionality.

I don't really have any way to contact the author of the module.  Is 
there any way to have this deleted/renamed?
