After not using Timeline for a month, I find a python widget seems to be missing.

Traceback (most recent call last):

I had no idea how to specifically correct that, so I just downloaded the most recent version and tried to install it using the command the documentation specified and got the same error.
I looked on https://wxwidgets.org/ but it was not clear what I needed, how to DL, how to install.
This is a snap with a packaging error, you can not do a lot to fix it (at least not by installing something external to the snap). what you should do is to report the issue to the maintainer via:
https://thetimelineproj.sourceforge.net/project-infrastructure.html#mailing-list
To get your snap functional again you can easily roll back to the former version that worked before the update with:
sudo snap revert timeline

Tried that and got

timeline reverted to 2.10.0

which seemed hopeful. Then on running that ostensibly re-established version I got

So I am guessing I borked it when I attempted to install the new version. No further reversion possible.
Can you check if all connections are still intact after the rollback?
snap connections timeline
should list them
Not sure what I am looking for, but there are no obvious errors. (copy gave jumbled mess, so screengrab)

I was particularly interested to see if the gnome one was still connected since that ships the pixbuf handlers

Working now. Problem seems to have been timeline loading a redundant module:
