It would be good, if programming is made in _lingua franca_ of internet, 
i.e. in English. By this I mean, that comments, variables, method names 
etc. are in English. Now it is your private project and this might not 
seem important, but I think that this Pyvon has good potential and it 
could become common tool for non-windows (and why not for windows!) 
platform, as it is done in high-level language and quite 
platform-independently. So perhaps in future it will be project, 
inovolving many people? In such case having consistent naming and style 
ensures better readability of code (which is important thing for 
maintenance and further development).
I have also thought about need for such cross-platform interface in some 
high-level scripting language (tcl/tk or Python), but haven't had time 
to do it. Why in scripting language? Because it is easy to port, it 
allows iterative development and easier maintenance. And in case of user 
interface speed of compiled code is not so important (although memory 
consumption could become issue). Anyway, it's good to see, that someone 
has same thoughts and got something working already, this inspired me so 
much, that I took Python book from my work and intend at least get more 
familiar with Python (I can't promise, that I will read this book from 
cover to cover, as it is >800 pages and quite possibly somewhat 
outdated, as it is from year 1996).
Anyway, keep up good work! So far I've used under Linux midnight 
commander for POV-Ray development (can't stand Emacs!), but seems, that 
these days will be gone soon :-)
BTW, if you intend to post your further versions to p.b.u., then perhaps 
it would be better to cancel older versions (to avoid unnecessary server 
space consuming and possible use of older versions by someone?)
