Go to the home page and click on "Issues"

You can also email me directly. I appreciate any feedback.

>>>  Pynguin is tested with Python 3.2.3 and PyQt 4.9.3

For anyone struggling with installing on Windows, please see:
https://code.google.com/p/pynguin/wiki/InstallingPynguinOnWindows

I realize it is not simple to install on Windows, especially for the
target audience, beginners. I have an open issue "Difficult to start
the program on Windows" which could use more attention.

The simplest way forward is to use Portable Python 2 and use
the 0.12 version of Pynguin (the last one to support Python 2)

It is also possible to run the latest version (0.14) on Portable
Python 3 but it takes some experience to get PyQt installed
in the right place.
