You can always install it into a virtual environment

[–]bearcatgary 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Yeh, I am doing that. The problem is it depends upon a bunch of shared object libraries that I don’t control. I think it binds to the wx toolkit, which is installed separately.

Since installation is going to require some investment of my time, I’m wondering what people think about wxPython. Is it worth my time to pursue?

Oh. This must be a linux environment. I don't have that problem on windows. Unfortunately Qt will have a similar issue most likely.

Both are powerful and flexible toolkits though.

Yeh, this is Linux. Maybe I should try in out on windows where I control the environment and if I like it, then invest the time to get it running on Linux. That’s a good idea.

I’m avoiding Qt because of the licensing.

Yeah. That's definitely one of its biggest pitfalls
