Well I guess I wouldn't know how much time it would take up until I'd 
tried it. I'd be willing to consider it, but I'd have thought it would 
be better if someone that could read and write python did it (that would 
rule me out at the moment). I've noticed that the GUI in particular has 
had some python portability issues in the past and I've only been able 
to resolve them by googling for a solution from someone that actually 
knows how to fix them.
