I don't know if anyone ever saw my crowning software achievment, "Dan 
Shafer's ScriptExpert," but it was a (largely successful, I think) 
attempt to create a tool in which people could write scripts by 
clicking on buttons and having the program build the script. Highly 
interactive. Sold well for a HC thingie, got a number of good reviews.

Doing something like that for a better-structured language like 
Python might be feasible, but I'm not sure fruitful. That is, I think 
most Python coders would think it silly and useless.

However, creating a squished-down version of that kind of scripting 
tool for a subset of Python that is represented by the PythonCard 
events and handlers, e.g., would be an intriguing notion. Or would it?
