WX backends
458+
===========
459+
460+
At present the release version of `wxPython` (also known as wxPython classic)
461+
does not support python3. A work in progress redesigned version known as
462+
wxPython-Phoenix_ does support python3.
463+
Matplotlib should work with both versions.

GTK and Cairo
468+
=============
469+
470+
Both `GTK2` and `GTK3` have implicit dependencies on PyCairo regardless of the
471+
specific Matplotlib backend used. Unfortunatly the latest release of PyCairo
472+
for Python3 does not implement the Python wrappers needed for the `GTK3Agg`
473+
backend. `Cairocffi` can be used as a replacement which implements the correct
474+
wrapper.
