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

[eliasazarian]

Have the same Problem with Ubuntu 18.04 and python 3.8.10. I tried the followings and none helped

• installing attrdict3
• installing requests
• installing xrpl-py Could somebody help?

[haniawr]

It's very frustrating :| windows 10, python 3.11.2, wxPython 4.2.1a1 (used whl from Windows artifacts), Ride 2.0. So everything looks fine but I can't open ride.py. Windows is asking me what program to use... so maybe I missed some instaltion step? Anyone has similar problem?

[bensh]

Same problem here: MacOS 13.3.1 pyenv 2.3.17 python 3.11.3 pip 23.1

EDIT: Installing 3.10.3 in pyenv and then installing wxpython with a blank pip list encountered no error.

ios$ pip list | grep attrdict
attrdict           2.0.1
attrdict3          2.0.2

I downgraded to Python 3.10.3 via pyenv and wxpython then installed fine via pip

[kbkim-starry]

tks solved it

[lehr-laemp]

On my MacBook with OSX 13.3.1 run python3.11.3 (installed with brew). In a virtual environment (with pip and setuptools) I have installed: wheel, six, attrdict3, numpy, Pillow and at the end wxpython. And now, wxpython run :-)

@JacekRuzyczka, from your log: python-config : not found

The build process couldn't find python-config. You need to ensure your built python-config is in your path.

Can anyone tell? how to install note: i already installed attrdict3 before installing wx-python

[sabdulmajid]

For what it's worth, I just wanted to say what worked for me: I'm currently running a macOS Ventura 13.4, and my Python version is 3.11.3. I was trying to install MAVProxy, which has wxPython as one of its requirements I believe. And so I was running into the error of "metadata-generation-failed", to which I tried manually running pip install attrdict and also pip install attrdict3. Didn't work. So what I did was I manually pip uninstall attrdict & pip uninstall attrdict3, then reinstalled them manually (pip install attrdict & pip install attrdict3) to which my wxPython installed perfectly (after running pip install MAVProxy)

[AbhishekSRaut]

@sabdulmajid I haven't install attrdict, so it wasn't presented in my packeges. as i install attrdict3, it still gives the error. I think main problem is with attrdict3 module. I have tried to import it in normal file, still it gives same error, "module not found" Maybe in mac its not the issue, but in windows i'm facing this. I'm using windows 11.

[JacekRuzyczka]

@swt2c python-config is already installed on my system! Path: /home/jacek/bin/tmp/Python-3.10.11/build/python-config

[swt2c]

@JacekRuzyczka make sure it is in your $PATH.

[AbhishekSRaut]

@swt2c can you look this also?

[swt2c]

@swt2c can you look this also?

If you have attrdict3 installed (before trying to install wxPython, not at the same time), then I don't have any ideas for you.

[AbhishekSRaut]

If you have attrdict3 installed (before trying to install wxPython, not at the same time), then I don't have any ideas for you.

Then let's wait for the official release...

Any idea when?

[TheQuinbox]

It's absolutely ridiculous that this is still an issue. Python 3.11 was released in October of last year. It's been over half a year, and people still have to do weird workarounds and hacks that A) they shouldn't have to do and B) that only work half the time. "So you have to install this, then that, then this, then open a particular command prompt and then it might work" is an absolutely awful developer experience. If I publish a project on GitHub, my users shouldn't have to install either an older version of this library or an older version of Python just to run my code, especially not when it's an actively maintained library. Utterly incompetent.

[GabrieleBattaglia]

[# Gabry B:] Totally AGREE you with you.

So the question could be: is there something we could do to ask DEVs to normalize this situation?

Maybe collecting signatures and send a petition?

[swt2c]

New release 4.2.1 has been made with Python 3.11 wheels.

[FrancescoChiossi]

Hello all, I am also trying to install wxPython on Python 3.11 (Windows 10).

I tried pip install wxPython==4.2.1 but still did not work.

I need it to use eelbrain.

However, I tried to install all dependenices but wxPython still fails to build.

DId someone find out a complete solution? I read the entire thread but not finding one fitting for me.

What happened when you tried to install wxPython 4.2.1? The log above is not from 4.2.1. Releases older than 4.2.1 will not work with Python 3.11.

[FrancescoChiossi]

Apologies for the confusing report.

Here is the terminal output when I try with: pip install wxpython==4.2.1

It seems an issue with building the wheel, as before showing the log it takes some minutes.

Are you sure that's Windows? It sure looks like Linux. In any event, you're seeing an error when building with newer Cython (that I've already fixed but not in a new release). You can try pip install cython==0.29.36 and then try installing wxPython.

[FrancescoChiossi]

It did the job, thank you! 🥳

I would recommend upgrading your Python version. Python 3.7 is end of life and we don't have wheels for it anymore.
