I have started a version of the Ad-Positioner script that uses easygui because it is entertaining and I can check code locally.
We have a new mascot for the project: Rockie the Flying Squirrel Cat

Rockie, Our New Mascot
There are currently 2 flavours of Ad-positioner in process.
- ad-positioner_0.3.0 is available here, until we use so much bandwidth that my webhost complains, at which point we have to figure out how to put it up on sourceforge. 0.3.0 uses EasyGUI
- ad-positioner_0.2.0 is available here. 0.2.0 is command-line python.
This is not as unsafe as you might imagine, because I have got index pages in all these directories. For instance: http://sourcefreedom.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/ shows that index page.
Here is a view of the first dialog of the script. Click on it to see a full-sized version.

The current py-script opens a cute set of dialogs, but it doesn’t do a whole lot yet… current-flow is a pdf to show you what is planned.
More info soon..
