**wxPython-zombie** eventually matured to version 3.1.5 of wxWidgets. No more
development, only bug fixes are done, a lot so far. **wxPython-zombie** will
provide the 64-bit binary extension package (build with Visual Studio 2022) for
MS Windows 10/11 and the source package to build for Linux. This is a release for
Python 3.10.

**wxPython-zombie** is forked from commit `64e5d86`__ of wxPython Project Phoenix
on 30 Jan 2021. The included wxWidgets is from the on 14 Apr 2021 released
`wxWidgets 3.1.5`__ (latest version). The latest version of the meta build system
Waf is used, released on 15 Dec 2021, `waf 2.0.23`__. Also the latest version of,
a Python bindings generator for C/C++ libraries, SIP is used, released on 1 Feb
2022, `sip 6.5.1`__. The source distribution format that is now used, is specified
in `PEP 517`__. The binary distribution format (wheel) that is used, is specified
in `PEP 427`__. The Windows wheel was built with `Build Tools for Visual Studio
2022`__, configured for the *Windows SDK (10.0.22000) for Windows 11* and
the *MSVC v143 - VS 2022 C++ x64/x86 build tools*. With these build tools the
latest version `cairo-1.17.4`__ was built for Windows, check it out with
wxPython-demo.

You must not install **wxPython** and **wxPython-zombie** in the same environment,
both packages use the package directory ``wx``.

The build and installation on Linux was tested on Arch Linux, with just the
minimal explicit installed packages or groups linux, base, base-devel, python,
python-pip, webkit2gtk, glu and sdl2. Use the user option in pip, this will be
default if the normal site-packages is not writeable. The build will take about
15 to 40 minutes, depending on your system. To see the verbose progress of the
build process, use the verbose option in pip. Warning: the verbose option in
pip < 21.2 can produce a lot of output in the beginning when pip is creating a
build environment. On Linux, update pip first before building and installing
**wxPython-zombie**, as normal user::

    $ python -m pip install -U pip

The demo package of **wxPython-zombie** is included in the distribution.
