wxPython install error

[carlomscalisi]

Complete Rookie, seriously.

I am attempting to install wxPython via pip on my Mac, running Mojave 10.14.6, but it's not working. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've attached a portion of the terminal output for reference.

I had some difficulty building on Linux Mint.
The solution on my end was to install attrdict before installing wxpython.
pip install attrdict
After that, no problem.

This may or may not be an issue on Mac

There is issues while using Python 3.11.
Same on Win i did a quick test using Python 3.11 and it fails,Win and Mac use similar pre build wheels.
Works fine on Pyrhon 3.10,so use that for now.
Look at this post to see usage of pyenv which let you easly switch to Pythnon 3.10.
