This is the important error in the traceback:

/bin/sh: 1: sdl2-config: not found

which means you need to install libsdl2-dev before wasabi2d.

[lordmauve]

This is due to the available selection of wheels in the version of PyGame that is being pinned by the stable version of Wasabi2D. If you explicitly install a newer PyGame (e.g. 2.1.0) then Wasabi2D will work fine with it.

I'll leave this issue open pending a new release of Wasabi2D.
