Pip install error

Following the theme of a few people here but I’m trying to install gooey which requires WXpython that has been my stumbling block:

I am using this python on mac:

/home/benson/anaconda3/envs/CV/bin/python3
3.7.11 (default, Jul 27 2021, 14:32:16)
[GCC 7.5.0]
sys.version_info(major=3, minor=7, micro=11, releaselevel=‘final’, serial=0)

i have this key package installed:

Name: attrdict3
Version: 2.0.2

###but i get this error####:

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

You’re really running on a Mac? It seems that the installation thinks you’re on a Linux machine, which could be a problem if you’re not.

oh, i just realised i am running on my Lab’s server so technically i am on a linux, yes you’re right

Well the configure process noted that it couldn’t find the GTK development packages. You’ll need to figure out what those are and install them, or tell us what Linux distribution you’re using.
