You don't think, but pymol-wxpython binary package is not produced
by pymol source package anymore. Latest one is
pymol-wxpython-0:1.8.6-3.20170314svn4170.fc27.x86_64 
while you try to install pymol-1.9.0-1.20180224svn4178.fc27.

This is clearly bug in pymol packaging. Either the pymol-wxpython
disappearance was an oversight, or the packager removed it intentionally
and then either pymol-wxpython files were merged into pymol binary
package and then pymol binary package should RPM-provide pymol-wxpython,
or pymol-wxpython was removed without a replacement and then such an
update should have never gone to stable Fedora 27 release bacause it
breaks API.
