To whom it may concern: Is it possible to create a Visual Python with options and editing tools similar to Excel? In the beginning it could be a combo with a command-docker, calling for a visual Routine. Indented structure of coding in Python is perfectly suited for it. In my mind such structure was the first subconscious step in this direction. It would make programming much easier: almost like playing with LEGO blocks. Sincerely, Michael R.

Sounds like you want something like Scratch? https://scratch.mit.edu/ It's not as powerful as Python, but it's a great way to get started in programming. Scratch itself has inspired a family of related concepts, including domain-specific languages, that take advantage of that "almost like playing with LEGO blocks" UI style. I wouldn't want to write a large-scale application in that, but I definitely *do* like building channel bot commands that way! ChrisA

Hey! I work on an open source Python package called Mito. https://github.com/mito-ds/monorepo I think it might be exactly what you are looking for. It is a spreadsheet interface for Python. Imagine you’re editing Excel and each edit generates the equivalent Python. Best, Jake On Fri, May 19, 2023 at 9:12 PM Michael R <michaelrb2b@gmail.com> wrote:
