That’s progress! Installing the wheel worked fine and we can now load wx:
$ python3.8
Python 3.8.13 (default, Apr 19 2022, 02:32:06)
[GCC 11.2.0] on linux
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import wx
>>> print(wx.version())
4.2.0 gtk3 (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.2.0
That’s progress!
Unfortunately, @Robin was right that there are still Glib version incompatibilities that might be showstoppers:
>>> app = wx.App()
(python3.8:4795): GLib-GIO-ERROR **: 10:19:48.441: Settings schema 'org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.xsettings' does not contain a key named 'antialiasing'
