Just tried installing this app and got the following error:

Also tried Installing with normal user; same result

Yeah you need to install wxpython, check the install instructions linked in the README. If you're onan apt-based system, try:

sudo apt-get install python3-wxgtk4.0

I've had other issues since, and couldn't get GoSync to work, but I think that was what solved this one.

Thanks @ComedyTomedy for the correct response. @Opfour did it solve the problem for you? @ComedyTomedy what is the problem you are facing?

Too many to remember I'm afraid! My lack of Python knowledge probably didn't help. In the end, I found that google-drive-ocamlfuse was good enough for my use case (which was figuring out what to delete to free up gmail space, I don't actually use GDrive), and I'm afraid I don't have time at the moment to help debug.
