I have wxPython successfully installed under Python 3.8.3. I tried upgrading to Python 3.9.13. When I tried to install wxpython I got this error:

I installed attrdict with pip, tried again, and got another error. The first part of the output I redirected to a file; of the rest (presumably sent to stderr not stdout), some disappeared off the top of the screen. Here is what I have:

I had a similar problem trying to install wxpython with Python 3.10.10.
Please help!
