I hope i answered every one - either by mail or by news group (otherwise let me know and sorry for not answering your postsings/mails). Because of this cancelling thing of all the messages my posting: "Call for a small program - willing to give a bonus" does not exist any longer. And AFAIK there isn't even reposting. One suggested that i should ask a programmer of a shareware solution to add a missing feature, others gave me the link to http://richtech.ca/seul/ - which i did not knew before. I spend about 3 hours there - really interesting. Others said that maybe PythonCard could be of help (This is a project to build a HyperCard (software from apple) like tool in, and using, the Python language. PythonCard is a software construction kit.) A few people were interested in such a software but either a.) do not have the time right now b.) say they do not have enough experience in programing c.) some other reasons This isn't meant to sound ironic. Some said to me, that i should not start to learn programing by producing a gui. Which is a said thing though. Considering the thread: "Ruby vs. Python - further development of python ..." i totally agree with the people who say the next thing desperately needed for python is a IDE (for example like in delphi). I did a little delphi myself and was really astonished that even someone like me (without knowing a programing language) is able to make a full working executable with a gui in no time. If there was a good IDE that would help to convert more people to either python or ruby. Because "semi-skilled" programers do not want to bother to learn how to handle gui-classes - for solving small problems - just my 2 Cent. No matter about the end of my small project - i would like to say that i really appreciated the comments and help given here. So thanks to all of you again.
