This statement is plainly wrong.

There has been a pause in the development of win32lib indeed. Last official
version dates back to september 2004. And Derek Parnell, the maintainer, has
been silent for a long time about any further release.

I have started modifying the lib a few months ago. Currently Derek is
also working on it, with even less spare time than I, and merging my (numerous)
mods with his own, which I have no idea of by the way. These modified 
packages have been referred to as "patch #67" on the list, since I dubbed 
this alpha incomplete version "0.60.C".

Working on it right now, still some bugs to fix. Then I'll send this to 
a list of testers, hoping that they'll spot bugs so that they can be removed.
Then Derek will release something soon hopefully, unless he decides to leave
that to someone else by sheer lack of time.

By the way, as Matt already noted, win32lib is Windows only, and a little
aging. wxEuphoria is cross platform, and as a result is a kind of a lesser
common denominator. You'll have much less functionality in wxEumhoria, but
programs will run in linux/Unix environments. Your call, according to your
needs.
