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?

Ah, Unix users. Who else would imagine that the way to install something called "wxPython" was to use "install wx"? :-) -- Steven
