dpkg trick for wxglade

I am trying to install the latest version of wxglade. Obviously my hoary 
system does not contain python2.3, thus installing the dependancy 
python2.3-pythoncard will not work. If I force the install wxglade works 
fine because I have the newer python2.4 version installed (I assume). 
The only problem with that is if I try to install anything after that 
point using apt I get stupid errors about how it cannot continue because 
it cannot install python2.3-pythoncard. Basically this requires me to 
uninstall and reinstall wxglade every time I use apt to install something.

Is there a way to force the package to install and have its dependancy 
checks ignored in the future? Or, is there a better way to install 
wxglade than the .deb file provided on the website?

Thanks,
Matt
