Eclipse and WX compatibility issue

Question

Hi,

I decided to give PyDev and Eclipse a try.

I have compatible version of Python (2.6.5) and wx, but when I try to run a program with PyDev/Eclipse I get the following error:

import wx File "/var/tmp/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-13~231/2.6/DSTROOT/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/init.py", line 45, in File "/var/tmp/wxWidgets/wxWidgets-13~231/2.6/DSTROOT/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/_core.py", line 4, in ImportError: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.6/Extras/lib/python/wx-2.8-mac-unicode/wx/core.so: no appropriate 64-bit architecture (see "man python" for running in 32-bit mode)

I just don't understand why I would get an error while try to run a program under Eclipse, that I know would run if I ran it through say the terminal.
