While I had documented using following command to install wx phoneix version
under python 3.4 32-bit version, running on an instance of windows7 64-bit,
when now reloaded machine from scratch, this command is telling me it can't
perform the installation:
pip install -U --pre -f http://wxPython.org/Phoenix/snapshot-builds/
wxPython_Phoenix

???

TIA

Ok, did manage to find a .whl file - pip install
wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev78265-cp34-none-win32.whl - and pip install pip
install wxPython_Phoenix-3.0.3.dev78265-cp34-none-win32.whl now seems to
have worked - took a while to track down that download, since the files
listed as .whl on the site mentioned in the other command seem to download
as .zip files, and not .whl?

Stay well

Very strange.

Are you using a recent version of pip? It should be at least 6.0.8 for
it to handle the version numbering which is used in recent snapshots of
Phoenix.
