Installing on Windows 8.1

How do I get this to work? I gather this is a Python 2 script, so I tried installing wxpython with the Python 2.7 pip, but I get a build error since I only have VS 2015 (and 2019) and not the ancient VC++9 build environment.

Running with Python 3 (which somehow can install wxpython just fine) doesn't seem too workable either, even with 2to3. I'm not much of a Python programmer, so AttributeError: module 'wx' has no attribute 'TaskBarIcon' on line 1892 is pretty daunting.

Well, for future generations, the solution at present is actually pretty simple. There is at least one fork (pixelbath's) that has been successfully ported to Python 3 and suffers only mild, probably idiosyncratic locale problems when performing the basic function of capturing webcam images. (I have not tried https://github.com/IsenfireLDC/chronolapse or https://github.com/ZirconCode/chronolapse, which also purport to be Python 3 conversions. They may have the same bug or may have fixed it, or have other bugs instead.)

Thanks for looking at that and suggesting some forks! Fork authors - feel free to create PRs!
