Hi,

Now with Python 3 merged it would be nice to get support for (optional)
wxPhoenix support into 5.1 as well. I have a preliminary branch running,
which works on Linux quite well (wx3.0.4+GTK3+python3.7+wxPhoenix). It's
mainly based on
patch-sets @mmccoo wrote some time ago.

For windows, nickoe helped me to get a first build of this branch with
Python2+wxPython to ensure the old stack is not broken. Unfortunately,
closing the scripting console causes pcbnew to hang and then crash.

I was able to reproduce the problem on Linux with
(wx3.0.4+GTK3+python2.7+wxPython). It seems some mutex is not
initialized, but I don't know how to fix this issue. The bug is likely
introduced due to the fact that the new code uses wx.FindWindowById to
find the parent instead of providing a direct reference to the window.
Unfortunately, keeping the old code-path would require us to include
wxpy_api.h (which will be included in the next wxPhoenix release) and
the introduction of SIP as new dependency.
