Ok, I got some errors after all:) This excerpt from R-wxPython User Manual  
gave me the error that you was talking about:

> dlg <- wxDlg(size=wxSize(200,160))
> dlg <- wxAdd(dlg,cb=wxCheckBox(label="Use wxPython",name="usewxPython", 
> pos=wxPoint(40,50)))
> dlg <- wxBind(dlg,"cb",function(checked)cbVal<<-checked,
+          event="EVT_CHECKBOX",eventMethod="Checked")
> cbVal <- 0 # We haven't specified initial state of checkbox so by default it  
> will be unchecked
> dlg <- wxShow(dlg)
Error in .PythonEval(paste("import ", dlg at PythonModule, "; reload(",  
dlg at PythonModule,  :
        Error in Python call: /usr/lib/python2.2/lib-dynload/parser.so:  
undefined symbol: _Py_TrueStruct

I'll try to recompile RSPython with the flags you suggested and report the  
outcome.
