Example of a Python 3.6 snap using wxPython 4.0.4 built using the 'core18' technique, which builds via a multipass virtual machine and core18 image.
This example is different to v_0.5.1 in that the #after: [desktop-gtk3] line has been commented out and replaced with the entire desktop-gtk3: part. This is because snaps built with core18 cannot refer to remote parts thus parts must be explicitly listed.
To build this snap: snapcraft If you get trouble snapcraft clean
Tip: since specifying parts or a step name is not yet supported (as of March 2019) these won't work: snapcraft clean andy-testsnap-py -s pull snapcraft clean andy-testsnap-py
Install the snap locally sudo snap install --devmode --dangerous *.snap snap list
Run andy-testsnap-py -h
Ignore the warnings Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "canberra-gtk-module" as these seem to happen to all snaps?
Publish snapcraft login (use ubuntu one auth) snapcraft register andy-testsnap-py snapcraft push --release=edge *.snap

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snapd can be installed from Manjaro’s Add/Remove Software application (Pamac), found in the launch menu. From the application, search for snapd, select the result, and click Apply.
Alternatively, snapd can be installed from the command line:
sudo pacman -S snapd
Once installed, the systemd unit that manages the main snap communication socket needs to be enabled:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.socket
To enable classic snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between /var/lib/snapd/snap and /snap:
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.
To install andy-testsnap-py, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install andy-testsnap-py --edge
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
