## Description:

This update for python-wxPython fixes the following issues:

Security issue fixed:

  * CVE-2024-50602: Fixed a denial of service in the vendored libexpat's
    XML_ResumeParser function (bsc#1232590).

Non-security issues fixed:

  * rebuilt for python 3.11 (bsc#1228252).
  * add repack script, do not include packaging/ dir in sources
  * Reduce complexity by not rewriting subpackages at all.
  * Appease factory-auto bot about package src name.
  * Add additional patches fixing the situation with Python 3.10 compatibility.
  * Split out the TW python3 flavors into multibuild using the
    python_subpackage_only mechanism: Multiple python3 flavors sequentially
    require too much space and time in one build.
