Hm. I'm not quite familiar with the scriptutils part of the PythonWin
framework, really... I guess it may be interacting unfavourably with
the way Anygui dynamically loads things, perhaps?

Well, if things were working as they should, you should *not* be
getting a NameError here. It does seem that the RunScript thing (which
gives the error) messes directly with namespaces etc., which Anygui
also does. I would guess that running your program with an ordinary
Python interpreter would (or, at least, could ;) work...

Very strange. As I said, this seems to be some problem in the
interaction between Anygui and the PythonWin RunScript thing. I'm not
sure how it works -- you could perhaps ask on a PythonWin list?

A possible solution would be to import things directly from the
back-end of your choice. E.g.,

  from anygui.backends.mswgui import *
  app = Application()
  ...

If you're running PythonWin, I guess the mswgui back-end should work.

No, I don't think you're doing anything wrong -- at least not as far
as I can see.
