I've used wxPython 4 (4.0.1) on macos by simply installing with "pip3.6
install wxPython".
I've also done this on Windows before using the Python.org install of
python.
I tried doing "pip3.6 install wxPython" from and msys2 mingw64 shell but
it didn't install/build.
It complains with `distutils.errors.DistutilsPlatformError: VC 6.0 is
not supported by this module`
It seems the msvc9compiler.py file is looking at `sys.version` to find
the sub-string `MSC v.`, which isn't in `sys.version`, so VERSION is set
to the default of 6.
Is this an msys2/mingw issue or a python issue? How do I go about
getting this to work?
