Greetings, My name is Gregory Walters and I would like to add the book that I recently had published to the GUIBooks Wiki page. My username is GregWalters. My proposed entry addition would be: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ BookTitle: Python GUI Programming with PAGE Author: Gregory Walters isbnicon: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ISBN=9355518374 ISBN: 9789355518378, BPB Publications, 320 pages (May 29, 2023) Description: PAGE is a Tkinter-based GUI designer for Python, available for free and as an open-source tool.

ShowMeDo links now show hijacked porn site

There was an email to webmaster that reported a page where the links went someplace... unexpected. Noah fixed that on the website, but this sounded familiar so did a little prospecting - this previously came up for the IntegratedDevelopmentEnvironments wiki page, which now points to a placeholder page noting the demise of that site. Doing a search for ShowMeDo in page text on the wiki shows there are quite a few other hits: AdvocacyAccomplishments . . . 25 matches PythonTraining . . . 8 matches PythonEditors . . . 8 matches GermanLanguage . . . 4 matches PythonWebsite/Learning/Top . . . 2 matches DistributionUtilities . . . 2 matches PythonSoftwareFoundation/BoardCandidates2010 . . . 1 match PythonSoftwareFoundation/BoardCandidates2009 . . . 1 match Noting this here for informational purposes. I'll try to get around to cleaning these up, but if someone else feels motivated to jump in, I won't be able to do anything for a while yet...
