Hey Matt. Project looks great and i am trying to install on ubuntu 22.10. After installing the dependencies from your documentation, I also found I had to install;

• feedparser
• zodb
• fake-useragent

Having done that, after running and setting the password i get; Startup may take a few moments... Enter your wxStocks encryption password: ---- wxStocks_db_functions.py|688 ---- Validating your password, this may take a moment... ---- wxStocks_db_functions.py|533 ---- attempting to load 0 possible portfolios ---- wxStocks_db_functions.py|326 ---- Loading GLOBAL_STOCK_SCREEN_DICT ---- wxStocks_db_functions.py|355 ---- Loading SCREEN_NAME_AND_TIME_CREATED_TUPLE_LIST ---- wxStocks_gui_position_index.py|24 ---- FINISH THIS TEMPORARY RESTRUCTURING TO WORK CROSSPLATFORM

TypeError: TopLevelWindow.SetSizeHints(): arguments did not match any overloaded call:
  overload 1: argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'
  overload 2: argument 1 has unexpected type 'float'

any ideas please?

Also, getting this warning SyntaxWarning: "is not" with a literal. Did you mean "!="? at 3990, 3995, 4014, 4029, 4034, 4060

I changed "is not" to "!=" and those warnings disappeared

changed line 33 to self.SetSizeHints(int(gui_position.MainFrame_SetSizeHints[0]),int(gui_position.MainFrame_SetSizeHints[1]))

but got the following error

I got bad news. After a serious of updates to multiple underlying libraries, and the obsolete scraping functions, I really think it's dead software for now.

It's definitely fixable, but it's just not something i'm super interested in working on right now. If you want to send me some pull requests, I'm happy to take them, but i looked into it a couple years ago, and something fundamentally changed about how the tabs in wxPython changed, and I couldn't figure it out.
