  • Is it a stable version ? I am already using `python-wxgtk3.0 is already the newest version (3.0.2.0+dfsg-1build1)` . But I don't know whether it's stable version or not. – Dinesh Apr 10 '18 at 07:00

To install the stable version of wxPython for Python 2.7 from the default Ubuntu repositories, open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install python-wxtools  # tools from the wxPython distribution

wxPython 4.0.1 has been released. To get the GTK3 wxPython builds for Ubuntu 16.04 you can use a pip command like this: 

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

    @Dinesh The package [python-wxtools](https://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=python-wxtools) is in the Universe repository. Can you check you have [enabled it](https://askubuntu.com/questions/148638/how-do-i-enable-the-universe-repository)? – Melebius Apr 10 '18 at 07:05
  • After you have enabled the universe repository, the command `apt policy python-wxtools` should show that python-wxtools Candidate: 3.0.2.0+dfsg-1build1 is available to be installed. – karel Apr 10 '18 at 07:08
