The work to split them out is already published: https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/wxWidgets3.0.git https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/python-wx.git I suppose I just never needed to actually rebuild python-wx after that, but the work was done in preparation. > wxPython 3.0.2 itself is shipped with wxWidgets 3.0.2 in the tarball > from wxpython.org, and seems to insist upon building its own copy of > wxwidgets.

Fair enough. python-sip will need to be updated for that as well, which requires also updating python-pyqt5* in sync therewith, so this will need to be coordinated. -- Yaakov
