Unfortunately none of these were what I was looking for. It was a large system with user accounts, tutorials, many backdrops, actors and commands to choose from.

The core Python is 2.7, not 3.x. If you search Public project with user name Kirby_cwk you should fine some of mine (some of which are remixes of others', including students). Let me know if you have questions about this platform and I'll seek to answer from personal experience.

What in Office is like that? There's an shift away from spreadsheets as the cornerstone of data analysis perhaps? The JP Bader link goes to further discussion. Also check Chipy archives.
