Re: Wheels for Linux

Yeah I tried going that route first, and while it is a great idea, I
think it is just too low-level to be doable for something like
wxPython.  In addition to GTK it would also need to include pango,
gstreamer, freetype font libraries, webkit, and the list goes on and
on.  The end result could easily end up being 10 times more non-wxPython
code than there is wxPython code.

Hopefully manylinux2 will include more in the base requirements that
will make it easier to build upon for wxPython.
