Error installing wxPython on Windows. - Reopenign this as I still have this issue as of today.

[mrhbbt3]

I am willing to help debug this issue. Would love to get this resolved soon as I am keen on using wxWidgets on a new project I am starting to work on .

Operating system: Windows 11 with Visual Studio 2019 & 2022 installed. VS Build Tools 16.11.9 wxPython version & source: pypi installed using pip (pip install wxPython) Python version & source: <Stock 3.10.1>

Description of the problem:

Unable to install wxWidget on Windows OS with Python 3.10.1

Constantly getting same error on OSX

@swt2c @RobinD42 any progress on this one character fix?

[swt2c]

What one character fix?

Until @RobinD42 produces a new release, I would recommend using one of the snapshot builds: https://wxpython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/

See the README.txt there for more information.
