In a nutshell, the old Installer tech used in wxPython Classic is not 
compatible with new macOS security.

Is there a reason you are not using a newer version of wxPython? wxPython 
4.x uses standard Python wheels for the binaries, instead of platform 
specific installer packages, and it's much easier and more flexible for 
using it multiple environments, etc.

If you need a Classic version then you may want to try this 
one: https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/other/wxPython3.0-osx-3.0.3.0.b20160914-cocoa-py2.7.dmg 
It will be more compatible with 2.8.12.1 than wxPython 4.x will be, and it 
was built using a newer installer format so it can probably be made to work 
with newer versions of macOS. It's not officially supported however, and 
there will not be any newer builds of Classic unless somebody else takes on 
the responsibility for that.
