You should try this:
import wx
from wx.glcanvas       import WX_GL_DEPTH_SIZE
wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas_IsDisplaySupported([WX_GL_DEPTH_SIZE, 0, 0])
wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas_IsDisplaySupported([WX_GL_DEPTH_SIZE, 16, 0])
wx.glcanvas.GLCanvas_IsDisplaySupported([WX_GL_DEPTH_SIZE, 32, 0])

I am wondering if it can't be some deeper problem, could you try to run any
other application which uses OpenGL? For example MeshLab is using it I
think, or any other you use.

So maybe this can give some hints. Just let me know what I can do that you
