It seems quite doable. Beside doing vector arithmetic with SciPy, and plotting/generating graphs with MatPlotLib, you may need a GUI toolkit, like Tkinter (built-in), wxpython, etc: http://pythoncard.sourceforge.net/ http://www.wxpython.org/ etc. Designing good GUIs requires some time. The "Loop and macro facilities" can be done in Python itself. To use Fortran from Python: http://cens.ioc.ee/projects/f2py2e/ Bye, bearophile -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
