actually, if the dependencies are right, you cannot upgrade to python
(2.3) without also upgrading to wxgtk-python (2.3) or de-installing
wxgtk-python (2.2).
There is a difference between "break stuff" and "not installable" :-)
When the dependencies are right, you can't "break stuff", because a
broken combination is "not installable".
if you can then the dependencies are wrong and you should file a
bug-report.
