It takes a long time to build, be patient and it will probably make it through if the needed library dependencies are installed. You can use the --verbose flag on pip to see what it is doing along the way.

Alternatively, there are already wheel files available for Ubuntu 16.04, see https://wxpython.org/pages/downloads/
