Answer 1

Here are steps I successfully used to install wxPython 'Classic' (not 'Phoenix').
OSX 10.11 or newer can not run that installer you tried, but this method will work.

1. Pull these two newest sources into two sibling directories:
   https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxPython.git
   https://github.com/wxWidgets/wxWidgets.git
   (sources from before 12/16/2015 won't work for this method)
2. Change directories cd /pathToYourGitHubSources/wxPython and run the following command:
   python build-wxpython.py --build_dir=../bld --osx_cocoa --install
3. Build and install takes a while. After it is completed, you can try import wx, but may first need the following steps.
4. Look in the newly created installed_files.txt to see what directories wxPython* files are in, as well as the location of /wx/*.py and /lib/*.pyc files. The three directories are probably like:
   /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx
/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx/lib

5. From terminal command line set environment and test wx:

   export PYTHONPATH='/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx'
   export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH='/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/wx/lib'
   
   python
   
   import sys
   import wxversion
   try:
       wxversion.select(['3.0.3'])
   except wxversion.VersionError:
       print "wx version failed detection"
       sys.path.insert(0, '/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages')
   
   import wx
   print wx.version()
   

If the wx version printed, it's working.
Some systems have other versions of wxPython or vestiges of old wxPythons installed that have led me to need setting the environment as seen above until the old pieces are cleaned off the system.
