Why is it saying that the dependency cannot be found when it is clearly there? Is there any way to correct this error and install wxPython on my system?
I have also opened an issue in the wxPython GitHub page: https://github.com/wxWidgets/Phoenix/issues/2401
By re-installing wheel and setuptools I was able to get it installed and working. I also removed attrdict and only installed attrdict3. So python -m pip uninstall attrdict attrdict3 wheel setuptools followed by python -m pip install -U wheel setuptools and then finally python -m pip install -U attrdict3.
