Just an update on this, because I get the odd PM here and there, especially from folks who find this thread via google. The two questions I get are:

Did I ever finish this? No. Real life, in particular a promotion at work and having a kid, made this begin to feel like work to be completely honest. I was spending 2-3 hours a night coding in bed, and I was beginning to have dreams involving Python functions, which was a bit strange. I decided to take a break from it and never got the urge to pick it up again. I'm sure I will down the line however, and I've still kept up with Python and use it from time-to-time at work.

Is it possible to program something like this in Python? Absolutely yes, and probably a lot better than how I was doing it. Even the GUI I think looked OK, but as I touched on a few times in this thread I would ignore this component it if I did this again and look at a web GUI (and probably paying someone to build one rather than learning it myself).
