ANN: EasyGui update - simple GUI interface for Python programs

[Stephen Ferg]

I've just released easygui version 0.66
It is available at http://www.ferg.org/easygui

This version adds a few useful features:

	Multchoicebox is like choicebox (i.e. a listbox), but it allows the 
	user to select multiple entries. Results are returned in a list.	

	Password box is like enterbox, except that the data-entry field is 
	masked with asterisks. 

	Multpassword box is like multenterbox, except that the last 	
	data-entry field is masked with asterisks.

	The cancel (X) box in dialog titlebars has been disabled.  This 
	makes it clearer what the user chose, since a user MUST choose one 
	of the programmed choices.
	

For those not familiar with EasyGui, here is an excerpt from the 
documentation:

******************************

Experienced Pythonistas need support for quick and dirty GUI features. 
New Python programmers need GUI capabilities that don't require any 
knowledge of tkinter, frames, widgets, callbacks or lambda. This is what 
EasyGui provides.   Using EasyGui, all GUI interactions are invoked by 
simple function calls. 

EasyGui is different from other GUIs in that it is NOT event-driven.  It 
allows  you to program in a traditional linear fashion, and to put up 
dialogs for simple  input and output when you need to. If you are new to 
the event-driven paradigm  for GUIs, EasyGui will allow you to be 
productive with very basic tasks immediately. Later, if you wish to make 
the transition to an event-driven GUI  paradigm, you can move to an 
event-driven style with a more powerful GUI package such as anygui, 
PythonCard, Tkinter, wxPython, etc. EasyGui is there just to do very 
basic stuff.  More elaborate stuff should be done with more powerful 
tools.

Here is a code snippet using EasyGui.

    msg ="What is your favorite flavor?"
    title = "Ice Cream Survey"
    choices = ["Vanilla", "Chocolate", "Strawberry", "Rocky Road"]
    choice = choicebox(msg, title, choices)
	
    # note that we convert choice to string, in case
    # the user cancelled the choice, and we got None.
    msgbox("You chose: " + str(choice), "Survey Result")
