I have installed easygui with apt-get install python-easygui. Unfortunately, it is only version 0.96 (2010-08-29). Do you have any influence on what package is installed with apt-get and, if yes, would you update it?

I imagine that is the Stephen Ferg version. @robertlugg would probably know best if it's possible/practical to do this.

Although, if you need the later versions, is there an issue with getting them via pip ?

APT has included 0.96-3 for some time (see the last few Debian releases). I/we don't have control over what goes into APT - but I have contacted the relevant mailing list and asked whether it would be feasible to get the version updated to the current PIP version.

In the meantime, @spyoungtech 's suggestion of using 'pip' will be your fastest and easiest way forward.

Does that all sound okay?

I'll tty this as soon as possible. Thank you for the answer.
