Re: [Pyzzle-users] change_slide

[<an...@la...>]

I plan to re-write Pyzzle from scratch. As far as I am concerned the
current code is dead. It is just too mesy and yields unpredictable
results.

I am going to review the code and get back to everyone in a day or so.

The new code will have a different API and will be a lib.

Sorry I cannot help.
