Hi Francesco,

Thank you for making me aware of this problem.  This is patch solves
your immediate problem but just creates another one.  What really needs
to happen is the wxPython version string used to build KiCad should be
determined by CMake during the build configuration to set the the
appropriate wx version selection.  I will add this to my todo list.
For future reference, please ensure your code conforms to the kicad
coding policy before submitting patches.

Regards,

Wayne
