interactive graphical script builder

[nik]

Hi,

I am looking for an interactive graphical script builder for python.
Basically, something like the os X automator. I have made a group of
methods that some non-programmers need to combine into a script. I
don't need a python IDE necessarially, but more of a sequence builder.
I am imagining a tool that could show graphical representations of my
different commands and then string them together in a single "script."
I've done a lot of googling, and the closest things that I can find
are apple automator or labview, but before I go through the process of
making one of those interact with python I would like to know if
anybody already knows of something like them that is more tuned to
python.

Thanks,
Nik

Check out Viper at Scripps (Sanner, lab). He has a prototype of this
type of thing for working with molecular models. I'm not sure how the
code is liscensed.

It's called Vision, now, and it's only available for noncommercial, scientific
research use.

there's already someone who made a start to create a "free python labview",
it's called Pyxel form Erik Lechak, an ogl-like interface.
