Looks promising, but where to download, and why so secret ??
Another problem is that I'm tied to Python 2.4.

Yes of course (GUI can only be developped with external machines,
and btw. the wxpythhon external machine doesn't work ;-)
but with the general external engine it works great, but ....
... too many key presses (goto main Python file, reset external machine, 
run).
I've tried to convince the developer (Kiriakos) to make a shortcut,
but I don't believe I already succeeded.

cheers,
