I did write a little Python program that played with the
various GUI gadgets that it made available (with much less
effort than doing it in C).  It made me think that I could
write something that my wife might actually be able to use.
(I was careful to use Python 3, not 2.)  It would be nice
if this remained a viable option; otherwise it's back to
writing Yet Another C Program.
