Next, I'm a bit stumped:

These bindings will be built: _core.
Generating the _core bindings...
sip-build: ::T has not been defined

I'm not really sure what this error is complaining about - and I can't 
even that error message in the sip code - do you have any idea where it's 
coming from?

There isn't anything called "T" in any wxPython .sip file that I can see. 
There is a macro used, named wxT(), but that's only used inside blocks 
like %TypeCode.  Is sip parsing those now and it's possibly finding it 
there?

Thanks,
Scott
