Has the OP tried to contact the author/maintainer of easygui [the
usually-recommended approach to problems with not-widely-used third-
party modules]?
Don't you think the author/maintainer might like to be consulted
before you incite an OP to claim-jump his package name on PyPI?
The OP (I presume you mean me) has tried to contact Steve Ferg (the
original developer) but I have not had a reply yet. See my e-mail above;
it is NOT my intention to place my modified script on PyPI as I AM NOT
the original developer. My claim to fame is changing a few "import" and
"print" statements and getting some useful advice from other members of
this list.
I am happy to make my modified script available unofficially and if
Steve does contact me I would prefer to pass it on to him for his
consideration.
This little project started out to solve a personal need not to
plagiarise or usurp the rights and skills of another developer. I was
happy to make my simple effort available, unofficially, in return for
help from other list members.
I hope that resolves the issue.
Regards,
Peter
