the package is looking good!

However, it seems something has gone awry importing the source for
4.0.1: it's imported and tagged in master directly instead of imported
and tagged in upstream and then merged into master (the default of "gbp
import-orig ../<name>.tar.gz").


Minor issues that can be fixed with a later upload:
- Lintian finds several spelling errors that you might consider
forwarding to upstream
- Lintian hints that the short+long package descriptions for the python2
and python3 packages are identical
- Lintian still detects missing hardening, so either my suggestion did
not work or these are false positives (Certainty: wild-guess)

FYI: I used "lintian -iI --no-tag-display-limit
wxpython4.0_4.0.1+dfsg-1_amd64.changes"


Best wishes,

N: 
N:    This package does not declare a test suite. Having a test suite helps
N:    with automated QA in response to changes in the archive. For example, if
N:    your package has a test suite, it is possible to re-execute that test
N:    suite when any of the package dependencies has a new version and check
N:    whether that update caused problems for your package.
N:    
N:    To declare a test suite, please add a debian/tests/control file to your
N:    package.
