Ok, before y'all jump on me, let me explain that I 'm a GUI girl. I don't like command line, though I'll play nice with it long enough to make it work for me if I am forced into it. Scripts of any sort make me break out in a cold sweat.

Two of the three methods of format shifting I would need to be able to use, unfortunately, involve Python scripts.

I know absolutely NOTHING about Python scripts or scripting, and even with step by step instructions, which y'all are prohibited from giving me, I have my doubts about my ability to manipulate said scripts.

Therefore, if this is a completely asinine question, I apologize in advance...Is it possible to make a GUI front end for a Python script? Not asking anyone specifically to do so, but supposing I had a friend or acquaintance talented enough to try it, would it be possible?
