Unfortunately there are two modules with the same name. The one you found is a sound library. The other one is the Python wrapped version of the newt library. I've no idea why the Python newt module is called "snack". The new source code comes with the Python "snack" module wrapper. The most recent version I have handy is available at ftp://ftp.visi.com/users/grante/stuff/newt-0.50.tar.gz There appear to be more recent versions available: http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/fedora/3/i386/newt-0.51.6-5.i386.html http://linux.maruhn.com/sec/newt.html http://www.freshports.org/devel/newt There's a rather outdated tutorial on using Newt v0.30 from C: http://www.oksid.ch/gnewt/tutorial.html Newt requires the s-lang library: http://www.s-lang.org/ -- Grant Edwards grante Yow!
