Oh, this means there is a missmatch between wxGTK and wxPython.
So you would need to recompiled the wxPython package.
(There are many instruction around how to do this. Usually those two packages
should match precisely so this looks like a wxPython wxGTK dependency 
packaging problem.) More help would be available via the wxPython community.

You could try disabling the check, but be prepared that stuff goes wrong
if wxGTK and wxPython versions do not match precisely.

Just place comment characters "#" in front of the lines you want to disable,
they need to be in the right column to disable the whole block(ideally).
Example:
    # Check whether the wxWindows version of wxPython and thuban's
    # wxproj module match.  If they don't match, segfaults are likely.
    if versions["wxproj-wx-tuple"] != versions["wxPython-tuple"][:3]:
        errors.append(_("Thuban was compiled with wx %(wxproj-wx)s"
                        " but wxPython is %(wxPython)s")
                      % versions)

to
    # Check whether the wxWindows version of wxPython and thuban's
    # wxproj module match.  If they don't match, segfaults are likely.
    #if versions["wxproj-wx-tuple"] != versions["wxPython-tuple"][:3]:
    #    errors.append(_("Thuban was compiled with wx %(wxproj-wx)s"
    #                    " but wxPython is %(wxPython)s")
    #                  % versions)
