Can you describe what you are looking for, in enough detail
that we can know whether it's already been done as you want it?
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.
If you use Windows, then the OS can take care of this. You don't need a
separate application, just open up a directory showing a list of .py
files, and click on one.
Then if '.py' is correctly associated with the right Python version, it
will run Python on it.
To group into categories, just put the .py files into separate, aptly
named directories.
The only problem I found, when launching in GUI mode, was that a
console-mode Python program would briefly open a console window that
would then promptly disappear if it finished immediately and there was
no interaction.
