from Win32 import GetFileType, GetStdHandle, WriteConsoleW, GetConsoleMode, GetCurrentConsoleFontEx, SetCurrentConsoleFontEx
GUI you say? If you are good at that, why don't you go work for RokuCo and write them a proper IDE? They have been posting for years job listings for someone to write said IDE...
