Re: wxPython installation fails

Hi Phil,

If I might suggest, avoid using your system python for development. Your
system stability depends on it, and unless you are using a very progressive
linux distro, it likely depends on it being a version 2 python.

I have found the employment of virtual environments to be perfect for
managing development in the face of the rapidly changing python landscape
(virtualenv is my preferred solution).

Virtual environments allow you isolate your python development environments
on a per-project basis, so in one environment you can work with e.g.,
tckl/tk interfaces and python 2.7, while in another you can work in
wxpython and python3.7 to generate business documents as pdfs, all without
inter-project interference due to dependencies.

Sorry if this doesn’t address your immediate concerns, but it’s a clean way
forward once you get beyond current troubles.

Best of luck

Heers
James
