Could it be Mekanimo? It let's you create circles and polygons and join them together with connectors while automatically generating Python code. Created objects behave like agents.

hello, this is a somehow strange request: a long time ago, a python developer wrote me saying he wrote a nice application in python which was also able to let the user snap together graphical blocks and at the same time it lets the user see the corresponding code, without even writing it;
maybe something similar to turtle art but i am sure it was not that one !
if anyone (or the developer itself) knows something about it, please let me know ?
thank you ps: if you're thinking why i am not searching in my inbox, the answer is you're right but i didn't find the mail again :) among tens of thousands of other messages, sorry !

You're not talking about MIT Scratch are you?
It fits your description to some extent.

PataPata by Paul Fernhout comes to mind, though it's hard to believe it was so long ago.

Hey this Mekanimo thing is fantastic. Amazingly cool use of the wx API for GUI. Really, Python? Thanks Fahri! I relayed my pleasure to mathfuture, a Google group. http://groups.google.com/group/mathfuture/browse_thread/thread/d006e2daf0e51... Maria D. also expressed appreciation, replying on naturalmath: http://groups.google.com/group/naturalmath/browse_thread/thread/17585b0643e3... mathfuture is where I do some of my Martian Math writing, a curriculum that uses Python quite a bit (including VPython [1]), but is far enough afield to sometimes make more sense in another namespace. Speaking of Martian Math, I feel obliged to cluck about the Buckyball on Google yesterday. I yakked with Josh Cronmeyer about it by email. He and I met up at an OS Bridge before he took off for Australia (that's the Josh mentioned in this blog post -- he's Python programmer of note, works with Thoughtworks.com): http://worldgame.blogspot.com/2010/09/buckyball-day.html In a couple hours I'm off the PDX (our airport) to fetch Steve Holden, PSF chairman. Holden Web is this the organizer of this year's DjangoCon in Portland. http://djangocon.us/ Kirby <historica type = "biographica" > [1] if you dig back in edu-sig you will find Arthur Siegel and I doing a lot of the talking. He was some high powered guy in the financial district, NYC, who wisely devoted much of his remaining time to raising his son and doing some esoteric Python programming to explore projective geometry. Pygeo is the name of his free / open source project, which makes heavy use of VPython. Can't think of anything quite like it either before or since. Check it out. http://pygeo.sourceforge.net/ Arthur was a passionate and colorful character and our debates on this list were free ranging (much to the dismay of some). We met twice in New York, also talked on the phone. This old blog post chronicles our 2nd and last meeting: http://mybizmo.blogspot.com/2005/05/tree-house.html (paragraphs 2,3) [2] http://djangocon.us/ Holden Web provided me with an exceptional opportunity in April, to lead a 3-day workshop for the Space Telescope Science Institute (Johns Hopkins campus, Baltimore). I'd expressed admiration for Hubble and the astronomer groups using Python, but never dreamed I'd be able to do a Python training with them. I also got to look over Steve's shoulder as he did some curriculum writing for O'Reilly School of Technology. This school offers for-credit distance education courses using a customized student version of Eclipse called Ellipse. </historcia> Physcial proof of the pythagorean theorem
