I'd like to use wxPython on my Mac OS 10.7 (Lion) computer. (I'm a Tkinter refugee.) I upgraded from Python 2.7.1, then downloaded and installed wxPython2.8-osx-unicode-2.8.12.1-universal-py2.7.dmg. Download wxPython-2.8.12.1-i486-3sl.txz for Slackware 14.1 from Slacky repository.
Install Python
The stable release of wxPython requires Python version 2.7. Get it from the official download page.
Windows
Installation under windows is especially simple: Run the installer you can get from wxPython and follow the instructions.
Mac OS X
An installer is available on the wxPython site, for both PPC and Intel Macs.
If you wish to build it yourself, you should follow the instruction described here.
A french howto can be found here
If you receive a message about the package being 'damaged and can't be opened', then you need to change the security preference setting that is labeled Allow applications downloaded from: to Anywhere.
GNU/Linux - Redhat
You can find RPMs for Redhat (they are working just fine with Mandrake through), at the address wxPython
GNU/Linux - Debian
wxPython can be installed through apt-get by calling apt-get install python-wxgtk2.8 or apt-get install python-wxgtk2.6, depending on which version you want. You may have to call this with root permissions. The wxPython demo is in the wx-examples package. However, it is advised to install the demo separately, as described at Using wxPython Demo Code.
Try this:
Please note that sometimes older versions of wx are installed by using this method See InstallingOnUbuntuOrDebian for how to get the latest versions with apt-get.
GNU/Linux - Raspbian on Raspberry Pi
https://motoclever511.weebly.com/convert-pdf-to-jpg-download-mac.html. wxPython 4.0.7.post2 can be installed and does run on Raspberry Pi's Debian variant, Raspbian. It works on Python 3.4 and up. For install instructions Build wxPython on Raspberry Pi.
GNU/Linux - Gentoo
wxPython can be installed through portage by calling emerge wxPython (notice the capital P). The correct command is actually emerge wxpython (without a capital p) as of 11/28/04.
GNU/Linux - Building from the source
You might also want to build wxPython from the source. You have to do this in three steps:
Installing wxGTK from source
wxGTK is the GTK version of wxWidgets. GTK (Gimp ToolKit) is a graphic library used by Gnome, so it is probably already installed on your Linux box. All you have to do is download the wxGTK source from the wxGTK ftp server. Or the wxWidgets website
You might get some errors here if GTK is not installed or if the include files for GTK are not installed (in a Mandrake distribution, gtk+-devel-1.2.8-6mdk.i586.rpm is the rpm that you want to install)
You should now have a compiled version of wxGTK. We want to install it and link it into the system.

it is possible that the library is not installed where wxPython is looking for it. ( In a mandrake 7.2 distribution, you want wxGTK to be installed in /usr/lib whereas it is automatically installed in /usr/local/lib) The solution is to create a symbolic link of the library where you want it to be:

wxPython is fully installed!
Please note that the most up to date information about installing the new wxPython4 wheels is usually located on the main wxPython website at: https://wxpython.org/pages/downloads/.
Make sure you have recent versions of pip and setuptools installed.
What Is wxPython
Simply put wxPython is a set of bindings to the wxWidgets C++ Cross Platform GUI library.
The wxWidgets library provides a free, gratis & open source, set of abstractions for the various GUI elements so that the native controls are still used, where available, maintaining the native look, feel & speed. As such it provides an abstraction for GUI creation and a number of other utilities in a platform that lets developers create applications for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and other platforms using a single code base. wxWidgets was started in 1992 and you can see a detailed history here. Download virtualbox extension pack for mac. The wxWidgets library is distributed under the wxWindows License, which is based on the L-GPL but with an exception clause. The exception clause allows you to link your application either dynamically or statically to wxWidgets without the requirement to distribute the source for your your own application. In other words, you can use wxWidgets for either free or commercial projects, at no cost. The license encourages you to give back enhancements you make to the wxWidgets library itself.

Note that some of these facilities, e.g. threading, are not actually GUI related but provide a useful cross platform abstraction so that, in the case of threading for example, one set of application code will work on any supported platform.
For many years the wxWidgets library, produced 4 separate builds, in addition to debug builds from one set of source code, static and dynamic libraries built for both ASCII and Unicode. It is usually available pre-built in the most common variants and as source code to build with the various options for the target environment and with the developers C++ tool chain with numerous tool chains being supported.
The python bindings for this library and some additions form wxPython.
wxPython gives a developer a way of benefiting from a cross platform GUI library, with a clear licence, while also giving the benefits of Python. Like wxWidgets and Python wxPython is free, gratis & open source, and available for use and distribution in both free and commercial projects without a resulting requirement to distribute your source code.
Note that where python itself provides a cross platform mechanism for implementing the utility functions of wxWidgets, threading again being a good example, it is intentionally omitted from wxPython.
wxPython also has a very large suite of demonstrations that can be run, tested and edited from within the Documents and Demo package.
Flavours of wxPython
For many years, as with wxWidgets, developers had to choose between ASCII and Unicode builds as well as needing a build for their specific version of python as well as the 32/64 bit options. As of about wxPython 2.8.9 the ASCII only build of wxPython has been dropped so Unicode support is always available.
Download Wxpython For Windows
Since wxPython 3.0.0 there have existed the released 'Classic' build of wxPython and a Phoenix currently unreleased build. The classic build tends to lag behind the wxWidgets builds of the same numbers and the documentation package is the C++ - it is available for download for various platforms, (see Installation of Classic), in the case of windows as an executable installer. The Phoenix bindings, being largely automatically generated, should follow more closely on the wxWidgets builds and also include wxPython specific documentation - it is build-able from source or nightly builds as wheels can be obtained using pip, (see Installation of Phoenix).
wxPython extends the wxWidgets library with a number of features, the following are just a few, that are not available in wxWidgets:
