sorry Rich, I didn't meant to be rude, but IMHO (don't mean to step on
Heinz toes) switching to wxPython-3.x for all the stuff we have in out
repository isn't gonna be that easy.
ATM, wxPython is needed by this stuff on our repository

most of it isn't compatible as is with the new version: for example,
audacity, that I maintain, needs an huge patch (and I still have to
test it)

debian has a dedicated (and useful) page for the migration in their
wiki that should detail more the PITA
