I'm trying to install wxPython in VisualStudioCode but it is not working. I'll insert here code it gives me:
pip install wxPython==4.1.1
>>

Requirement already satisfied: pillow in c:\users\kamil\myenv\lib\site-packages (from wxPython==4.1.1) (9.4.0)

Requirement already satisfied: numpy in c:\users\kamil\myenv\lib\site-packages (from wxPython==4.1.1) (1.24.2)
Installing collected packages: wxPython
DEPRECATION: wxPython is being installed using the legacy 'setup.py install' method, because it does not have a 'pyproject.toml' and the 'wheel' package is not installed. pip 23.1 will enforce this behaviour change. A possible replacement is to enable the '--use-pep517' option. Discussion can be found at https://github.com/pypa/pip/issues/8559

I Also did pip install attrdict pip install wxPython==4.1.1
It is March of 2023 and I am here to seek help while I am trying to build an app. I use Chat GPT to help me.
I am looking for help online but it is hard to find something what would help real person to build something.
Wow it still says my post is mostly code and I need to add more details. This is very annoying right from the start. What's next?
