Not able to install new wxpython

Question

I am working on Debian Stable Linux and python 3.5 and I am trying to install the new wxpython (phoenix) using following command:

pip3 install --upgrade wxpython

However, it stops with following error:

  checking for CAIRO... yes
    checking for cairo_push_group... yes
    checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 1.0 not available, falling back to 0.10
    checking for GST... configure: WARNING: GStreamer 0.10 not available, falling back to 0.8
    configure: error: GStreamer not available
    Error running configure
    ERROR: failed building wxWidgets
    Traceback (most recent call last):

    Finished command: build (0m9.686s)
    Command '"/usr/bin/python3" -u build.py build' failed with exit code 1.

I have following packages related to gstreamer installed:

What other gstreamer package do I need to install? Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

I find that the only way to install wxPython on Ubuntu 16.04 is by executing this command:

sudo pip install -U -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-16.04     wxPython

if you just execute the usual

sudo pip install wxPython

then it will fail complaining about GStreamer missing (but I have all the required packages installed, of course).
