Hi! I just managed to install necessary libraries and PyGObject (for `import gi`) for Python 3.5 and the first screen of `generateds_gui` appeared. I haven't tried much it yet but at least the window is full of controls. ;-)
Gonna try to fix it for Python 2. On Fri, Feb 22, 2019 at 01:45:25PM -0800, Dave Kuhlman <dkuhl...@davekuhlman.org> wrote: > Oleg, > > I have not worked on `generateds_gui` for a long time.
