Easygui2
Further development and maintenance for the Easygui project which was shut down in 2010

To get the best idea of how easygui2 is different from Easygui please check example.py file.
Uncomment and comment out the lines as necessary. -There are some minor bugs fixed as well in Easygui2

Basic use of Easygui2

import easygui2

choice = easygui2.buttonbox("Would you like some coffee?","Restaurant",["Yes","No"])
if choice == "Yes":
	...

Getting sequential inputs
If you ever needed to get sequential inputs from a user with Easygui, you have probably noticed this problem by yourself. Let's say we have an robot we want to control. We want to be able to move it in all directions and to switch it on and off. (Exit on "OFF") You're probably thinking of something like this:

import easygui2

choices = ["ON", "OFF", "forward", "backward", "right", "left"] 
input= '' 
while input != "None": #happens when the user presses ESC  
	input = easygui2.buttonbox("controller","robot", choices)
	if input == "forward":   
		...
	elif input == "backward":
	   ...  
	...  
	...  
	elif input == "OFF":   
		break

Problems:

• User can't move the GUI around the screen because after every input, the window closes and a new one appears in the original place.
• Flickering happens after every choice, till the next window opens.
• Every different window gets a new task-number or pid. This makes it harder to follow the window instances

Using callback with Easygui2 - a much better solution
Just create a callback function which handles the input and returns "terminate" when you want to break the input loop.
Give this function as an optional argument when invoking: import easygui2

def controller(user_input):
 if user_input == "forward":
	 ...
 elif user_input == "backward":
	 ...
 ...
 ...
 elif user_input == "OFF":
  return "terminate" #this terminates the callback loop
  
choices = ["ON", "OFF", "forward", "backward", "right", "left"]
easygui2.buttonbox("controller","robot", choices, callback=controller)

Note: Not all Easygui2 functions support callback option
For some of the functions, it doesn't make sense to support it.
The full list of supported functions are:

• boolbox
  
• buttonbox
  
• ccbox
  
• choicebox
  
• enterbox
  
• indexbox
  
• integerbox
  
• multchoicebox
  
• ynbox
  
• multenterbox
