186+
```````````````````````````
187+
188+
The wx backend can now be used with both wxPython classic and
189+
`Phoenix <http://wxpython.org/Phoenix/docs/html/main.html>`__.
190+
191+
wxPython classic has to be at least version 2.8.12 and works on Python 2.x. As
192+
of May 2015 no official release of wxPython Phoenix is available but a
193+
current snapshot will work on Python 2.7+ and 3.4+.
194+
195+
If you have multiple versions of wxPython installed, then the user code is
196+
responsible setting the wxPython version. How to do this is
197+
explained in the comment at the beginning of the example
