build wxpython to windows 32 bit

[baaziznasser]

please and please and please build the wxpython to windows 32 bit
because we are facing a big problem when trying to compile it
make it as it is in 64 bit python
not all of us can install the ms vs to build it.
because there are a beginners that trying to learn this GUI and they just started programming.
make it simple please

am agree with you the wxpython refused to be built on my python 32 bit.

@swt2c @swt2c
could you do that? i think that this will be a hend of help to a lot of beginners on python
could you do that?

[swt2c]

I can't publish wheels, only @RobinD42 can.

[baaziznasser]

@RobinD42 would you do that please?

Hi @swt2c is it possbile you share us with the wheel file? Some of us really really need the win32 version...

Using Azure Pipeline can build the artifacts. Download the wheel for Python 3.10 Windows x86 wxPython-4.2.1a1-cp310-cp310-win32.whl

Tested with Pyenv

pyenv install 3.10.7-win32
pyenv local 3.10.7-win32
pyenv versions
python -m pip install .\wxPython-4.2.1a1-cp310-cp310-win32.whl
python -c "import wx; print(wx.version());"
4.2.1a1 msw (phoenix) wxWidgets 3.2.0

Hi,

An alternative set of wheels exist as mentioned in #2235 - the mentioned wheels are based on official wxPython 4.2.0 release and targets Python 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, 3.10, and 3.11 (I'm part of a project that requires 32-bit Python for maximum compatibility across platforms).

To build 32-bit wheels for Windows, one must:

1. Update pip (if not done so).
2. Install the following via pip BEFORE checking out wxPython tarball: wheel, attrdict, requests.
3. If building for Python 3.10 and later, edit attrdict, changing "from collections import Mapping" to "from collections.abc import Mapping".
4. Download wxPython tarball via pip (pip download --no-cache-dir wxpython).
5. Build wxpython wheel (pip wheel {wxpython-version.tar.gz} e.g. pip wheel wxpython-4.2.0.tar.gz).

It will take at least fifteen minutes to generate a wheel.

Thanks.
