   Is your problem with downloading from CVS or with the code once
downloaded? CVS is something that you will just have to learn about as it is
part of the assumed background knowledge for many open source projects. It
is not sensible for every project to maintain their own CVS documentation.
SourceForge hosts some articles about setting up CVS on various platforms:
https://sourceforge.net/docman/?group_id=1 - section 6, CVS Instructions.

   PythonCard is simple. It contains a simplified library for developing
wxPython applications. Boa Constructor is complex and ambitious but uses the
basic wxPython library. Neither is mature enough to have released a 1.0
version.
