How to install wxPython on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan?

[Michael Beyeler]

Users have complained that the current version of wxPython can't be installed on Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan.

Following standard procedures such as this:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/34402303/install-wxpython-in-osx-10-11

result in an error when mounting the .dmg and running the .pkg:

“wxPython3.0-osx-cocoa-py2.7.pkg” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should eject the disk image.

This seems to be a known bug, which is documented here:

http://trac.wxwidgets.org/ticket/17203

Although I don't currently have access to Mac OS 10.11, there seems to be a workaround described here:

Has anyone tried this recipe and can confirm that it works on 10.11?

User Phuong P. on Amazon reported that wxPython 3.0.3 (and forward?) is the way to go:

This wxPython package worked for El Capitan 10.11.6
