Pip install of wxPython 4.2.0 fails with python 3.11

[zanseb]

Operating system: Windows 11 21h2 wxPython version & source: 4.2.0, pip Python version & source: 3.11, stock

Description of the problem: It is possible to download wxPython 4.2.0 with python 3.11, but the installation fails with the following error.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.

I tried with both package attrdict and attrdict3 Everything works as expected with py310, even w/o the attrdict package.

[swt2c]

Did you install attrdict3 before trying to install wxPython? Unfortunately, that needs to happen.

[zanseb]

I installed attrdict3 via pip right before installing wxPython. You can see it in the output above. Is there maybe a specific way to install it or is pip install sufficient?

[swt2c]

Looking at the log above, it looks like you installed it as part of the same transaction...

[zanseb]

Correct, it is part of the requirements.txt which is installed all at once with pip. Do you think I need to install it seperately?

[swt2c]

Correct, it is part of the requirements.txt which is installed all at once with pip. Do you think I need to install it seperately?

Yes.

[zanseb]

Thanks, I tried it and it got a step further. Unfortunately i get following error while compiling the package

[swt2c]

Not sure about that. Do you have C++ support installed with Visual Studio?

[zanseb]

Yes, wxpython with python 3.10 works fine on the same machine. Could the reason be that there is a wheel file of this package for python310 but not for python311? Meaning that I do not actually compile wxPython for py310?

Indeed. If you installed the wheel for Python 3.10, then you did not compile it yourself.

[pratik139patel]

So how can we resolve this issue? Can you guide me how to compile wxPython for 3.11?

[zanseb]

FWIW, I have done a little more research and the main reason the build is failing (at least for my setup) is that the include paths are not resolved correctly. tchar.h can be found on my system at C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Include\10.0.22621.0\ucrt, however when executing following build step https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/blob/3ee614e0e8cd5ed603b6a07f4e5ab846ca9de036/buildtools/config.py#L997-L1006 the above mentioned path is not found.

I don't know whether the build is supposed to work with win11 and VS2022, therefore I guess I'll wait for the offical wheels, thanks for your help!

Let me know if you want to do further investigation, I'll be happy to help. Thanks again.

[vlandau]

This same thing is happening to me in Python 3.10 in docker. To reproduce:

Enter the Ubunutu-based Python 3.10 docker container

docker run -it python3.10 bash

Then run pip install wxPython==4.2.0 in the container to get the error:

It seems that attrdict3 needs to be installed for wxPython to successfully installed regardless of OS, but attrdict3 is only required when the host OS is windows: https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/blob/master/requirements/devel.txt#L24

[swt2c]

Yes @vlandau I addressed that here: 2e9169effa9abf14f34f8436a791b8829eea7774

[vlandau]

@swt2c, thanks for the quick response! Is that change not reflected in 4.2.0? I appears that attrdict3 wasn't made a requirement for the package in the latest version. I very well could be missing something, though.

No, that change was made post-4.2.0.

Okay sounds good! I assume it'll be in the next patch release? Thanks again!

@RobinD42, are you planning to build and publish the wheels for python 3.11?

There will have to be a new release for supporting python 3.11.

You need attrdict3 not attrdict.

I ve the same. Both under Win11, Python 3.11 and Ubuntu via WSL2, python 3.8.10 None of two got success.

[zanseb]

@swt2c, I have seen that you are already building the wheel for py311 (https://alldunn.visualstudio.com/wxPython-CI/_build/results?buildId=1061&view=logs&j=1673e16c-f486-5fbe-9e06-af58c9e250b7). Do you have the possibility to upload it to the snapshot builds?

  DEPRECATION: wxPython is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

I have windows 11. I tried Python 3.11, 3.10, 3.7 and the corresponding wheels wxpython (all 64 bit). I haven't found any combination that doesn't cause the installation to crash. Can you advise me on specific functional packages for installation in Windows 11? Either the error is as mentioned above or this: whl is not a supported wheel on this platform.

solved by installing clang

I solved this by installing attrdict3 and libgtk-4-dev I am using python 3.10.9, debian Testing

[tonyrsutton]

Has there been any further updates on wxPython with Python 3.11.1 yet? Here's mine on Windows 10...

I can confirm that attrdict3 was installed first.

[TheQuinbox]

@tonyrsutton, yup, getting the same exact thing. Installed Visual Studio Build Tools, and all the VC++ redistributables. Same error.

[mworks-proj]

Did you install attrdict3 before trying to install wxPython? Unfortunately, that needs to happen.

With this fix I was able to finally run

pip3 install --upgrade xrpl-py wxPython requests toml

without any errors. If anyone is still having problems i suggest using

pip3 install (missing pacakges 1 by 1) until no errors occur.

[ultrasound1372]

Also failing for me here with tchar.h. Windows 10 22H2, Python 3.11.1, in a venv. Pip shows I have attrdict3, certifi, charset-normalizer, idna, numpy, Pillow, requests, six, toml, and urllib3 installed.

STILL PROBLEMS AS OF 02/20/23 macOS 13.2.1 Ventura......help!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rtibbles]

Any update on when prebuilt whls will be released? I am also blocked on installing this on MacOS and would ideally need a universal build for MacOS.

[ajkaijanaho]

This is blocking us from moving to Python 3.11 for the same reasons as discussed last year regarding Python 3.10. I hope we can get a release that includes Windows wheels for Python 3.11 earlier than last time.

[jawn]

I'm seeing several projects updating their requirements.txt to work around this issue.

Is it clear what the next action is on this one?

[wolfch-elsevier]

solved by installing clang

How do you make pip / wheel use clang rather then cc ?

[planetminguez]

I dont know.........anybody hears anything,please let me know

I have managed to build this in a Github Action on a mac, but then the resultant artifact is not behaving as expected, unfortunately. Guessing I am missing some secret sauce.

Updated

• CI for Python 3.11.
• Download Windows artifacts
• Release for Python 3.11

Hi @oleksis I notice that this build did also build whls for 4.2.1a1 for every platform - is it possible to publish the artifacts for MacOS as well as for Windows?

[de-served]

Upd: I'm new to python. Spent 2 hours trying to install wxWidgets; then attrdict, then found this thread, then attrdict3, then wxWidgets again, then xrpl-py/requests/toml etc, then stuck at No Visual Studio found, then with a schaman drum installed VC and stuck with log attached. Then digged deeper to rtibbles messages, downloaded "artifacts", read what it is, looked inside zip, found "wheels", read how to install in and... installed successfully from previous message "wxPython-4.2.1a1-cp311-cp311-win_amd64.whl". Uninstalled attrdict3, uninstalled xrpl-py etc, wxPython and reinstalled .whl to see that no other packages needed. All seems ok now. (Just seems, not tried to use wxPython for now, very tired of that)

[JessicaTegner]

A fix that worked for me was.

Open "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2022" pip install attrdict3 pip install requests pip install wxpython (this took around 5-10 minutes on my computer because it builds everything from source)
