Re: Unable to install wxPython 4.0.2 via pip (4.0.1 works fine)

Why not 4.0.3?

The version of waf being used to do the build was changed in 4.0.2 to be 
the newest at that time. It is a little more strict about the Python being 
used for the build on Linux. The main thing that comes to mind is that the 
Python *must* have been built with `--enable-shared`. Stock Python packages 
from the distro are all built that way (as far as I know) but it's possible 
that miniconda is not built that way, as it's not the default. Maybe 
there's a conda package that can be installed that adds on the shared lib 
in a way that waf will be able to see it?

If that doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem then it could be this 
issue: https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/904. That has been fixed 
already for 4.0.4 but you can manually patch your copy and build from 
source (not pip) until 4.0.4 is released. Just run `python build.py build 
bdist_wheel` to get a wheel file you can install with pip.

If that doesn't help then check in build/waf/3.6/config.log for further 
clues.
