Does anyone know where I can get the PyUI package that is built on top of pygame? In addition to the base repository, I have the universe and multiverse repositories activated and it is not in either. I have tried to install it from the source package from http://pyui.sourceforge.net/ but it will not install properly. I have pygame installed for both python2.3 and python2.4.

PyUI hasn't been updated in two years, wouldn't even bother installing it. If you wanna make games in Python, use PyGame. Else use PyGTK.

DJ_Max is right. Use those or wxPython for cross-platform and short development time goodness. :)

The thing is, I just bought a book called Game Programming with Python ( http://www.amazon.ca/exec/obidos/ISBN%3D1584502584/702-0378297-9756035 ) and it uses pyUI pretty well throughout the book. I don't need pyUI as it's only covered in detail in a chapter or two but it would be nice to get it installed so I can run all the example code that came with the book on a cd.

Thems the breaks I guess. Thank you for your help.

Same here. Pain in the butt. I found PyUI095 and installed it but I get the following errors when I try to run the example code from the book:

>>> Running '/home/kudu/python/gpwp/chapter4/main.py' ...

Really ******* me off! Can't figure out a cure.

I got pyUI running. You need to install it per the Python 2.4 devHelp documentation regarding modules. Then hash out this line thusly:

#from OpenGL.WGL import wglUseFontBitmaps, wglGetCurrentDC

from the openglBase.py file located in the /usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/pyui/renderers folder.

Next extract the hoops folder from the book CD and put a copy in the /python2.4/site-packages folder. That should get the example code operational. Hope this helps!
