Is it possible for wxPython3 and wxPython4 to coexist in a single Linux 
distro?
The creator of my distro replied on the forum about why wxPython4 is not 
available in the repos:

wxPython 4 is not in the repo because there is nothing that depends on it. 

wxPython 4 requires a different python sip package which may break existing 
wxPython 3 and apps that depend on wxPython 3.

wxPython 4 requires a special private sip library to be built. 

# wxPython upstream uses a private sip module, wx.siplib, and bundles the
# siplib code.  It's not possible to build this siplib because the source 
code
# for sipgen is not included.

In summary wxPython 4 is a time consuming PITA to manufacture packages 
based on it at this time. I don't know how to tell you to build and install 
it.

Is there a way to install wxPython4 without breaking wxPython3, and any app 
dependencies?
