To install the stable version of wxPython for Python 2.7 from the default Ubuntu repositories, open the terminal and type:

sudo apt install python-wxtools  # tools from the wxPython distribution

wxPython 4.0.1 has been released. To get the GTK3 wxPython builds for Ubuntu 16.04 you can use a pip command like this:

sudo apt install python-pip  
sudo pip install -U \
    -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-16.04 \
    wxPython

@Dinesh The package python-wxtools is in the Universe repository. Can you check you have enabled it? – Melebius Apr 10 '18 at 07:05
After you have enabled the universe repository, the command apt policy python-wxtools should show that python-wxtools Candidate: 3.0.2.0+dfsg-1build1 is available to be installed. – karel Apr 10 '18 at 07:08
