pymsgbox's Issues

Cannot install PyMsgBox

When I try to install it, I get RecursionError.
End of output:
RecursionError: maximum recursion depth exceeded
[end of output]
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
ERROR: Failed building wheel for PyMsgBox
Failed to build PyMsgBox
ERROR: Could not build wheels for PyMsgBox, which is required to install pyproject.toml-based projects

Fatal crash using pymsgbox.confirm or pyautogui.confirm

Using either:

import pyautogui
pyautogui.confirm()

or

import pymsgbox
pymsgbox.confirm()

runs once, second time always crashes.

Configure Location of message box?

It would be nice to be able to have the message box at a particular place on the screen. In my case, I want it in the upper left corner.

Right / left arrow keys don't work

If you do

pymsgbox.prompt('What did you do today?')

and then write some text, and then do Right arrow or Left arrow, the the focus moves to the buttons (OK, Cancel), instead of allowing the cursor (caret) to move in the textbox.

How to make that arrow keys let the user move inside the textbox?

License mismatch

Hello,
it seems that your repo have an issue with the license. You are clearly using the 3-Clause BSD License text (LICENSE.txt) and even GitHub recognise it as it, but in setup.py you are stating usage of GPL-3.0.

[Feature request] Progressbar or the abilitiy to update the text of an alert.

Are there any plans to work on these features?

documentation not correct?

the documentation says defaultValue, but it is just default.

from pymsgbox import alert, confirm, prompt, password

alert(text='', title='', button='OK')
a = confirm(text='', title='', buttons=['OK', 'Cancel'])
print(a)
a = prompt(text='', title='', default='')
print(a)
a = password(text='', title='', default='', mask='*')
print(a)

'Tkinter is required for pymsgbox'

I am using python 3+ and get the following exception:

File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/pymsgbox/__init__.py", line 105, in confirm                                                                                                    
    assert TKINTER_IMPORT_SUCCEEDED, 'Tkinter is required for pymsgbox'                                                                                                                       
AssertionError: Tkinter is required for pymsgbox

when I try to use a native pymsgbox confirm dialog on debian with vs code:

import pymsgbox.native as pymsgbox 
resp = pymsgbox.confirm(text='Do you want to overwrite the current projects?',
  title='Overwrite projects?', buttons=['Yes', 'Cancel'])

I thought Tkinter is built in python 3+?
Can anyone help me please?
