Sounds good. I think teaching is one of the areas where Anygui might
have some potential.

Indeed ;)

Right. You're probably using Anygui 0.1.1, and that uses an old
version of PyGTK (I think). In the new version of the GTK back-end,
GtkLabel is not used -- gtk.Label is used instead.

If you've followed some of the discussions on this list (or visited
the Web site) you've probably noticed that there havent been any
releases for a while. The trouble you're experiencing is fixed in the
CVS version, but we haven't relased that yet. You're perfectly welcome
to download and use it, though, of course. The GTK back-end might not
be 100% up to scratch yet, but that is mainly because of a lack of
testing, so if you use it and notice bugs, just tell us, and we can
hopefully fix them as we go along. That should also get us closer to
an actual release :)

If you'd like to go with a more stable version, you could use Anygui
0.1.1 with PyGTK 1, but I don't think I'd recommend that solution
myself...

Good luck -- and just nag us about bugs and the like.

Oh, and you have to subscribe to this list to post to it, normally.
(I'll gladly accept your postings manually, but it might be just as
practical for you to subscribe, I guess.)
