Hi,
I started to look at wxpython when I first wanted a gui for python. I got the impression it needed a lot of typing to do the simplest of things but tkinter seemed much more straight forward. I saw you mention wxpython in another thread a few weeks ago and thought I would look again as you mentioned phoenix but I cannot get it installed on my Linux Mint 18.1 system.
Any idea how I might get it installed please?

Please post on the forum rather than PM so all can share.

I don't have any experience installing on Linux Mint however there's
a post on their forum here: https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=198382
which seems to solve it.

Perhaps someone on the forum has been through this exercise and can help more.

I do know that you need the package named 'six' to be successful

the tarball is located here: https://pypi.python.org/packages/b7/1a/6...7a87b82ba3

if you untar, you should be able to go to the top directory and run:

1	python setup.py install

after you have installed six (i expect you can do that with 'sudo apt-get install six' and I'd also try the same for wxpython)
