I don't think there is a reason for you to uninstall other than  
saving minor amounts of disk space. Doing a new install with the  
package versions I recommended should put in position to have  
everything running. You can check that Python and wxPython are  
running correctly from the Terminal and Finder and then do the  
PythonCard install.

I don't know offhand how you go about uninstalling user versions of  
Python safely from the Mac.

wxPython has a uninstall_wxPython.py file that should deal with most  
versions of wxPython that you might have installed.

I don't know if a GUI package manager was ever done for Python on the  
Mac or not. It would probably alleviate some of these problems.
