If I just want to try out wxPython, can I keep it separate from the regular Python 2.3.4 I have on my system, and use both as I wish?

wxPython is NOT a separate version of Python it is only a set of modules and tools. It works with your existing Python. There is no magic involved it is just like the winall package or any other set of modules. Nothing changes except that you can now

from wxPython.wx import *

and not get an error!

Similarly PyCrust and PyShell are simply programs written in Python that get added to your PC. They do not change your existing Python installation in any way.
