There is a developer listed on that PyPI.org page.  It might be worth
contacting them about why they made a project to overwrite wxpython and
about their claim.  It has files -- I don't know what they contain.

FWIW, I think that the sort of obvious statement from the active users and
proponents that "development has stalled" is about as worrying as someone
else (apparently not actively engaged in the community) saying "development
has died".   Five months of inactivity on github master branch and seven
months without uploads to PyPI *is* a bit of a worry....

I certainly hope all is well too!
