Installing wxPython on Raspberry Pi 3

Keep_Secret · April 10, 2018, 7:59am

I managed to find - at last - a better install help for the RPi.
From here : https://wiki.wxpython.org/BuildWxPythonOnRaspberryPi
But after the install with no problems I get:
in the help it states sudo pip3 install wxPython-4.0.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_armv7l.whl
This is not on the system but
s*udo pip3 install wxPython-4.0.1-cp35-cp35m-linux_armv7l.whl worked.***
Statring the demo.py I got a menu (really good graphics!!) but the following:
i@hostb:~/wxPython-4.0.1/demo $ python demo.py
__ (demo.py:2976): CRITICAL **: clearlooks_style_draw_box_gap: assertion ‘height >= -1’ failed
** (demo.py:2976): CRITICAL **: clearlooks_style_draw_box_gap: assertion ‘height >= -1’ failed
** (demo.py:2976): CRITICAL **: clearlooks_style_draw_box_gap: assertion ‘height >= -1’ failed__

Since the GUI has suberb graphics I want to stay with wxPython.

Can someone assist here please???

Thanks

Hello

I’ve installed wxpython under raspbian and also I ran the demo.py and I’ve got no problem the only is that tooltip are not working, I recomend you to follow the steps posted in BuildWxPythonOnRaspberryPi - wxPyWiki

In my case I used:

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev build-essential libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev libsdl1.2-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libnotify-dev freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libwebkitgtk-dev

$ cd wxPython-4.0.1

$ python3 build.py build bdist_wheel --jobs=1 --gtk2

$ cd ~/wxPython-4.0.1/dist

$ pip3 install wxPython-4.0.1-cp36-cp36m-linux_armv7l.whl

The compilation time takes to much, at least four hours, but it works

Please try again!

If you prefer you can try the compiled file at

https://sites.google.com/site/sebas2print

and so remember to excecute this

$ sudo apt-get update

$ sudo apt-get install dpkg-dev build-essential libjpeg-dev libtiff-dev libsdl1.2-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libnotify-dev freeglut3 freeglut3-dev libwebkitgtk-dev

and then install the compiled file in the above link

Many wxWidgets trigger these GTK warnings. Despite the word
“CRITICAL”, almost without exception, they can be ignored.
I wish the GTK guys would put these warnings in a log file somewhere
so as not to alarm users.

In this case it looks like the asserts are from the active theme, so it is yet another step away from actually being “CRITICAL”.

Hi
I have python 3.5.3 on RPi3B+. This install failed for me: I got

selecting libtiff5-dev instead of libtiff-dev

E: unable to locate libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev

E: no package by glob libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev

E: ditto by regex libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev

Am I out of date or just plain unlucky today?

As a Raspian noobie I really appreciate these forums.

Thank you, Graham.
