I had the same problem with Lubuntu 16.04.
This workaround may help:
The wxwidgets2.8 is stored in this ppa:
https://launchpad.net/~damien-moore/+archive/ubuntu/codeblocks-stableYou might add this ppa to your sources.list
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
=> add ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install python-wxgtk2.8
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
=> remove ppa
I use WikidPad Version 2.3 RC02.
If you have installed another version of python-wxgtk you should first deinstall the version.
