Hi All,

This is my first email to this community.

I am a transportation modeler by profession and I am trying to use SUMO microscopic traffic simulator's SUMOPy extension [1]. I am running this on a Linux platform (Ubuntu 20.04). This particular project uses wxpython2.9. But I could not install it so I had to go with the 3.x version, which seems to be incompatible with the project.

Is there any way that I can install the above version?

Thanks in advance.

The short answer is that you likely cannot install wxPython 2.9 on Ubuntu 20.04 as 2.9 only works with Python 2.7 and as far as I know, 2.7 was removed from Ubuntu 20.04.

Yes Scott is correct. My advice is install wxpython in a virtualbox Ubuntu 16 and work there till you can migrate to the new version.
