-wxPython is a GUI toolkit for the Python programming language. It allows
-Python programmers to create programs with a robust, highly functional
-graphical user interface simply and easily. It is implemented as a Python
-extension module (native code) that wraps the popular wxWidgets cross
-platform GUI library which is written in C++.

Another optional dependency is libmspack, which is used by the CHM help
viewer.

+with wxPython (not wxGTK or wxX11), so this is the correct package to
+install unless you have very specific and weird requirements.
+
+wxPython can be installed alongside wxGTK3, but it will overwrite the
+/usr/bin/wx-config created by wxGTK3.
+
+If you need to build packages using wxGTK3, simply reinstall the
+wxGTK3 package and wx-config will point to correct version.
+
+The same solution can be used if wxPython's wx-config is overwritten.
+
+We are in the process of updating all scripts that use wxGTK3 or
+wxPython to ignore the wx-config symlink at build time, so this will
+stop being a problem some time in the future.
