Thanks for the fix, Scott. That let me close the FTBFS on KiCAD.
Just curious - will this fix be forwarded to an upstream, or is this a
problem unique to Fedora?
From a wxPython perspective, it's unique to Fedora in that upstream
wxPython uses sip 5 officially, whereas Fedora has moved to sip 6. (I'm
not sure about that wxPython GitHub issue you found where someone had
previously reported a similar problem - not enough details from the OP.)
I did report the problem to sip upstream, as that's where the root issue
lies, as far as I can see - no response as of yet.
