getting a version of wxPython to compile for Ubuntu

[David Mashburn]

Dear WxWindows maintainer(s),

What is the simplest way to get a compiled version of wxPython to run on
the latest Ubuntu for testing?  I am working on a modification of
PyCrust and wanted to test some changes in the wxStyledTextControl
source (mainly, updating the Scintilla component).

I definitely DON'T want to overwrite the main version of wx on my
machine (obviously)!

Thanks,
-David Mashburn
