Windows 10: wxPython in VS2017CE

The statement import wx works in Idle and Pyscripter but not VS Community Edition

Staying in VS2017CE using Python 3.6(64bit) I try Run command pip install wx

and VS reports
----- Installing 'wx' -----
Collecting wx
Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement wx (from versions: )
No matching distribution found for wx
You are using pip version 10.0.1, however version 19.2.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'python -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.
----- Failed to install 'wx' -----
Now I’m searching for Python 3.6(64-bit) . . . .
Explorer finds it at C:\Users\srfpa\Documents\Visual Studio 2017\Python Scripts
But explorer says this folder is empty
So I show hidden items and see a Python 3.6(64-bit) folder which
shows me only a Readme file
Does anyone have wxPython installed with import wx working ?
If I should repost elsewhere, let me know.
TIA
Bob

Hi srfpala, I am Dexter, an Independent Advisor, here to help you.

I'll suggest you upgrade the PIP first by running this command:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip

Then try to install wxPython packages again:

pip install wxPython

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let me know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.

A miracle has happened!

I stayed within the Python Environment.

Installed both the new version of pip and then wxPython.

All seems to be working as expected.

Much praise for the MSFT Python development team.
