The latest version of wxPython doesn't support the wxversion module. Instead the information is available as wx.version.
Is there any suggested work around to this? Thanks!
My environment is Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, pyenv, python 3.8.3, python 2.7.18, wxPython 4.1.0

Consequently, the playonlinux command fails with this error:

NOTE: For those struggling to install wxPython on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS due to GTK+ error *** Could not run GTK+ test program, checking why...
Try this command (found here: https://wxpython.org/pages/downloads/)
pip install -U -f https://extras.wxpython.org/wxPython4/extras/linux/gtk3/ubuntu-20.04 wxPython

playonlinux installed initially as follows, but reinstalled with standard repository on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (i upgraded from 19.10):
The version of playonlinux I'm running is for Ubuntu 18.04 (Bionic Version) downloaded from here: https://www.playonlinux.com/en/download.html
For the Bionic version
Type the following commands:
wget -q "http://deb.playonlinux.com/public.gpg" -O- | sudo apt-key add -
sudo wget http://deb.playonlinux.com/playonlinux_bionic.list -O /etc/apt/sources.list.d/playonlinux.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install playonlinux
Maybe playonlinux is superseded by the flatpak version?
Looking at the Github link on https://www.playonlinux.com takes you to https://github.com/PhoenicisOrg/ which suggest that perhaps the solution is to migrate to the flatpak version:
