Yep. Sorry, that's a problem I've had. I'm starting a new library with my new team, which will have lots of the same scripts (but cleaned up and bug-fixed) in it. Sorry about the bugs. If you send me your code at pymike93@gmail.com I might be able to fix it up :-)

That part I figured out. I can get the buttons to fire (activate? trigger?) as long as they are painted onto the screen. What I was unable to do was to get them to behave when I had painted them on another surface (had a large sprite on which I intended to put all of my controls/buttons. It seems like the curser collision doesn't get detected when I try to do that.

Sorry...get them to fire? You mean add commands to the buttons? if so, it would work like this: def fire(): print "bang!" Button(command=fire) of course you can have your other args in the button but that's just a simple example. If you want more than one arg in fire() you can use lambda. for example: def fire(position, speed): print "Bang!", position, speed Button(command = lambda: fire(position=(0, 0), speed=5)) Hope this helps you!

I'm new to python (and OOP) so bear with me... how exactly do the buttons work? I have a screen that I have divided into separate panes using large sprites, and want to include some of your PyGU buttons as a control panel on one of them. I have been able to get the buttons to render onto the surface of the sprite, and resize appropriately when the window is resized, but I haven't been able to get them to fire...

Thanks for the feedback. Hmm...In my windows version the "Lib" drectory is uppercase. I'll fix this in the next release.

Installing this version report me an error. The DATA_PATH in the locals.py module is a string like sys.exec_prefix + '/Lib/site-packages/pygu/gui/' but the library is installed with a "lib" (lowercase) directory name. This is a problem on linux systems. After changed Lib to lib, all run normally.
