wxpython 3.0 installs in python2.7/site-packages?!!

I just installed wxpython 3.0.x but it does not install in python3.4/site-packages but rather in python2.7/site-packages.
Of course when I "import wx"  from python 3.0 it fails.
It this a bug or is there a reason and a work around to get wxpython working with python 3.0?

Thanks.

Not a bug, wxPython simply isn't compatible with py3.

Scimmia,

Thanks for the reply.
I read in Stackoverflow that it does.

Confirmed wxpython works with python3.3. System spec: Windows 8.1 64bit. Python was a first time install on this new machine (so no previous versions exist). Objective: get matplotlib to work with their wx examples.

But maybe it is only for windows 8 at this time?
Perhaps we will see it in Linux soon.

They're probably referring to wxPython Phoenix, which is separate from wxPyhon 3.0
