New Python user here. I’m trying to install wxpython and expecting that the appropriate wheel will be downloaded. Instead, it results in a build attempt. This fails because of missing C++ compiler. But I don’t really want to build it locally.
This is what I have done:
Installed Python 3.10.0
python -m venv robot_env
robot_env\Scripts\activate
pip install wxPython
The output is:
ERROR: Command errored out with exit status 1:
