? I was following your directions. What should I have done differently?
Is it normal for the group boxes to get squished or not?

That statement about only doing things one way in Python just isn't true

not until now- that is helpful

Some docs on how to use layouts would be good.
For example - how would a user know to use the "apply layout" buttons as
opposed to putting layouts on the forms, the placing widgets on/in them?
This is where I started going wrong.

I wouldn't necessarily say this is advanced, but it doesn't cover something
as simple as my example- two vertical layouts side- by side.
I had read that layout.html many times, trying to figure out how to get
widgets inside of a group box.
