Update to build with Python 3.10 (dependent on wxPython support)

[machawk1]

Pyinstaller does not yet support Py 3.10 when using the releases, though this was slated to be updated with a new release of Pyinstaller following the release of Py 3.10.

https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/issues/5693

Currently building WAIL w/ the latest release of Pyinstaller on macOS 11.6 arm64 Py 3.10 fails.

• [ ] Try recompiling wxPython from source using 3.10 then rebuilding.

[machawk1]

This might be resolved with https://github.com/pyinstaller/pyinstaller/pull/5694.

[machawk1]

A new version of pyinstaller with support for Python 3.10 was released on October 29, 2021.

wxPython appears to not support Python 3.10 as of release 4.1.1. Full trace attached due to GitHub rejecting it in a comment due to length:

wxpython411_python_310.txt

[machawk1]

https://discuss.wxpython.org/t/serious-upgrade-problem/35604 suggests that building wxPython from source using Python 3.10 might remedy the issue. Task added to original message.

[machawk1]

Also note in the left navigation at https://pypi.org/project/wxPython/#files that Python 3.10 is not listed as supported. 3.10 is now listed as a supported version of Python on PyPI.

Also updated to Python 3.10.4 and encountered the same result.

https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/2128 shows some users still waiting on an official wheel that supports Python 3.10.

[ChrisBarker-NOAA]

Yup -- and a new release would be nice in any case :-)

@RobinD42: I notice you've pushed changes lately -- let us know if you need some help getting a release out.

wxPython was released on August 7, 2022, so this should be re-tested.
