I installed the wxmac (wx) homebrew formular with the --python and the --devel option to get python and 64bit support. Now if I try to run the getting started example from the wxPyWiki, I get this error: 

This program needs access to the screen
Please run with a Framework build of python, and only when you
are logged in the main display of your Mac.

The way I try to run the program is by simply typing python wx.py in iTerm2, and I get that response.

What is the problem and how do I get it working?

    Download the 64-bit Mac Python build from python.org called “Python 2.7.3 Mac OS X 64-bit/32-bit x86-64/i386 Installer”. Then go to wxPython’s website and download the development cocoa build as that’s the only 64-bit wxPython available for Mac. Then when they’re both installed, it should work.
