While I would like to see PythonCard and anygui covered in a book, it
doesn't make sense for either project right now. The APIs are in flux and by
the time a book went to print the information would be completely wrong.
PythonCard is likely to change quite a bit between now and the end of the
year and anygui probably won't be usable for anything but the simplest
projects until early next year or later.
