wx under python 3.5.1

wxPython Users
#1

Know this topic has (probably) been discussed quite a bit on this list, but, only just installed 3.5.1 32-bit myself on my, now, windows 10 64-bit machine.

While found a .whl file to try installing wx under 3.5.1, it bombed out, relating to something like invalid online pointers/URL's, etc., so though would ask if you guys had any suggestions relating to getting wx to run/work under python 3.5.1?

TIA

I don't really use 3.5(.0) myself, but I've built a wheel for this which I could send you.
On this list you find informations how to build it yourself, but it's not really fun to do it at the moment.

Which wheel did you try? Is there one somewhere for download?

Regards,

Dietmar

Hi,
unfortunately, there isn't any official build of wxpython for python 3.5 yet.
In the snapshot builds for wxPython Phoenix, which also runs on python 3:
http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/
there is a "closest" wheel only for python 3.4
http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev1839+4ecd949-cp34-none-win32.whl

(the part of the filename -cp34- indicates, it is for Python 3.4;
there is currently only a wheel for mac with py 3.5)

It was mentioned somewhere on this list, that the more recent windows
compiler used for python 3.5 requires some extra work to make wxpython
compatible with it; but I am not sure, what exactly could be involved
in such task.

regards,
    vbr

JL: If you need to build extensions for Python 3.5, you'll need Visual Studio 2015.

See e.g. here and the following post:
  "Compiling wxPython Phoenix on Windows 10 64 bit with VS2015 and Python 35"
https://groups.google.com/d/msg/wxpython-users/9cUXJVmE8MY/y3uHQiEaFgAJ

The modifications for Phoenix are also in a pull-request on Github. The wxWidget modifications still would need to be applied.
The required Visual Studio version is available for free.

That's where got hold of .whl I tried out - renaming it, etc. - was just trying my luck, in case.

Got VS.Net 2015 enterprise/free version here, but haven't bothered installing it yet - not really, generally of interest to me, but, let's see...<smile>
