about Google's "Blockly" a drag and drop tool for building apps that outputs Python or Javascript code (among others) and it might be usable along these lines...I'm sure serious programmers would not use it but maybe engineers looking to make web front ends for data acquisition or data base apps might use it...
Actually, there are mouse based tools for engineers, but they are more focused on data flow. For the low level they need to fall back to something similar to Blockly. That's the reason why I don't want to use them. Still they have a significant market share. With Python not having an easy-to-use GUI builder, I don't see how to get people to move from such tools to Python. For the data acquisition and processing itself I could well imagine them to see the potential, but when it comes to implementation of a complete program... (Most people consider a software without GUI as incomplete.)
