We had looked at QT a while ago, but not in relation to Python. We were 
just looking at it in relation to rewriting in C++. We'll have to 
revisit it, paying attention to PyQt.

It is a rather fun project to be on. It's such a gigantic program 
though, it gets difficult to comprehend how long it's going to take to 
make this transision. Whether it's to Python, or some other direction.
