I'm sorry, I thought people could figure out that I wasn't talking about running just one script. In case you didn't see my 2nd post responding to this question, I said: I deliberately left the question open-ended because I'm curious what's out there. I've studied and practiced Python for a little over a year, but I've spent that time mostly writing my own code and I don't really know much about what and where to look for in modules and packages. Basically, I now have quite a few Python programs I use frequently, and as time goes on my collection and uses of it will grow. Right now I just want a way to select which one I'd like to run and run it. I'd like it to be a standalone application and some sort of system of categories would be nice. I'm migrating tasks I've always done in Excel to Python, and I have a sketchy idea of features I'd like to open Excel with, but I hate Excel VBA so much that I haven't written an on_Open macro for Excel yet. What I'd like to open with is mostly a menu of macros I'd like to have available for any code I'm running, possibly opening different environments for different kinds of tasks, that sort of thing. I also plan to use sqlite3 for permanent data storage, matplotlib for charts, and tkinter for interfaces. That's all in the planning stages, but one thing that seems like an obvious need is a way to keep related code and its associated data, charts, etc, easily accessible to each other, like they are when they're all bundled together in an Excel workbook. I have a few ideas about how to do that, but I'm also interested in what other people have done. I probably won't know exactly what I want until I have one and use it for awhile. I've been keeping my code for daily computing open in my IDE and using the IDE for a launcher, but it's getting a little crowded, and I'd like to access those bits separately from code I'm currently working on. I should also say that right now I'm using Windows XP, but hope very soon to have Linux again. Ideally, this launcher would work in both. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
