How odd... And you're sure you used 2.1? (That they weren't installed
in parallell, and the 2.0 version was used instead?)
Have you tried to just start the interactive interpreter (in 2.1) and
import weakref? It works for me...

That's nice :)

Hm. We have (for now) decided to support 2.1, so if that's not working
I'd consider it a problem... On the other hand, only supporting 2.2
would give us lots of neat opportunities in other areas ;)
(Not really an option for a while, though, I think.)

What do you mean? It will move along, yes -- but that might mean some
re-work, since the API might change still (as the warning in the
documentation says)... No extreme changes, but changes nonetheless.
(Of course we're happy to help you fix things related to these
changes, though :)

Very good! We need testers/users to make things more stable.

We'll get combo box and notebook, and mega-widgets. They're in the
TODO file (found in the distribution). But first we need to
re-implement a big chunk of the internals -- adding features before
we've done that will only mean re-adding them afterwards... But by
release 0.2 (and certainly 0.3) Anygui will be much more complete than
it is now. (0.1 is more of a prototype/proof-of-concept.)
