Sounds like a swell idea! 

Unfortunately I fear that I may not be of much use to this project at
the moment since I'm very new to Python and totally clueless about
programmatic GUI development (Hence the fact that I use Visual Basic ;).
I'm really a very mediocre programmer. :(

Maybe at a later date when I have more experience I might be more
useful. Hope you get a better response from others. :)
