I installed PyGUI-2.0.1 on Windows (32 bit, non Administrator access).
I got the following error in 2.0.1 when attempting the BlobEdit example:

I presume that one should be able to import GUI.Win32 if I need to import win_none from it.

If I comment out line 2, I get the following error:

PyGUI 2.0.1 is available:

Thank you very much for this GUI toolkit. I always wanted something like this on
windows. I installed this and tried out the tests on Python 2.6.1 and Windows XP
SP3. Following are my observations. I will try to send some patches once I have
looked at the code in detail.

After installing on windows I had to manually delete
"C:\python26\lib\site-packages\GUI\Win32\__init__.py" in order to get it work.

Test 02-window.py:
1. Resizing window produces white horizontal bars. Use double buffering to
prevent this?

Test 05-checkbox.py:
1. Checkbok background is a black rectangle.

Test 06-radiobutton.py:
1. Radiobutton has a white background.

Test 09-textfield.py:
1. All textfields have black area at right & bottom.
2. For multiline textfield, the black are is not painted over during repaint.
3. Textfields no not have XP style borders.

Test 15-dialog.py:
1. Alt+F4 does not work. However Ctrl+Q works fine.
2. Initially keyboard navigation is not possible. Once a button is clicked,
it is focused and keyboard navigation is possible.
2. If Cancel button has focus, pressing Enter should print Cancel. Currently
it prints OK.
3. Pressing spacebar should activate focused button.

Test 18-exceptions.py:
1. Printing traceback to console is not sufficient on windows.

Test 29-slider.py:
1. Defenitions of 'live' and 'non-live' are swapped in the printed message.

Test 33-mouse-events.py:
1. mouse-enter and mouse-leave events are not reported.

Test 37-image-cursor.py:
1. Mouse pointer hotspot is in the middle of the image.

Test 38-keys.py:
1. Key combinations with Ctrl & Alt are not detected properly.
2. Scroll-lock is reported as f14
3. Pause/Break is reported as f15
4. Caps-lock & Num-lock are detected as keycodes but 'key' is not reported.

Regards,
Suraj

As Suraj sugguested, I deleted the __init__.py file. After that I had
no problem running these test files.
But when I ran the blobedit demo, it raied
attributeNotFoundException.

I installed this and tried out the tests on Python 2.6.1 and Windows XP
SP3. Following are my observations.

Thanks, I'll look into these.

Test 33-mouse-events.py:
1. mouse-enter and mouse-leave events are not reported.

That's actually expected on Windows -- I couldn't find
any way of implementing these.

Test 37-image-cursor.py:
1. Mouse pointer hotspot is in the middle of the image.

That's okay too, it's meant to be there.

Maybe this can help:
