Yes, I noticed. But the application has the name of Python GUI. >> I see the ">>>" prompt instead of the "$" prompt. > > "Doctor, my arm hurts when I move it." - "Don't move it, then."

I worked with SCO Unix and various sorts of Linux.

Look for the Windows version. There is no other Windows version except the packages I mentioned, PyWebDAV and PyXML.
