Hooray! I discovered PyCrust. I made this script (for Linux - under Win, you could just have all but the first line as a python file and run it directly): #!/usr/bin/python import wx import wx.py.PyCrust if __name__ == '__main__' : app = wx.App() pc = wx.py.PyCrust.App(app) pc.MainLoop() Run it from the working dir and tinker from there.
