Comment (by tom.duck at dal.ca):

 Yes.  However, I think my earlier speculation was wrong anyway: If I
 remember correctly, wx accesses the native display capabilities on each
 system, so X should not be needed here (I think).  The error message
 appears to say as much:

 {{{
 $ python --version
 Python 2.5.2

 $ python axes_demo.py
 This program needs access to the screen.
 Please run with 'pythonw', not 'python', and only when you are logged
 in on the main display of your Mac.
 }}}

 Note also that X is working fine with the imagemagick 'display' program
 installed using port.  In any event, turning X.app on or off makes no
 difference to this problem.

 If I understand correctly, pythonw is what you used to have to run
 (python2.3 and earlier) to access the native display capabilities.  So,
 why isn't my python2.5 install able to do that?  I am wondering if you
 perhaps have one of the python25 variants installed?  Universal, or some
 such thing?
