I wanted to start working with wxPython, but I found out that it isn't updated for Python 3. I'm using the newest verion of Python, 3.3 that is.

So I started looking on the web and found some people who said there wasn't, but these threads were like 3 years old.

So my question: Is there still no wxPython update for Python 3? Python 3 has been out for a couple of years now! There should be, right?

Thanks

wxPython 4 is here and supports Python 2.7 and 3.5. It can be found on PyPI - https://pypi.python.org/pypi/wxPython and is installed via pip:

pip install wxPython

If you want to try the bleeding edge, there are snapshot builds here:

You will also want to check out the Migration Guide and the Classic vs Phoenix documentation page for more information about the changes to wxPython
