For reasons disclosed here, pypi has no wheels available for wxPython on Linux. This causes Linux builds to take up to 25 minutes (against the ~2 minutes on Windows/MacOS) which is a bit annoying.
We circumvent this by manually specifying a prebuilt wxPython=4.2.1 wheel for Ubuntu 22.04 and installing it in the poetry venv before we call
poetry install
. Bit finicky but this will be fine for as long as we use Ubuntu 22.04 runners for CI and wxPython 4.2.1.
