yes, actually what I wrote it is completely independent from QGIS, it is compatible with pyqt/pyside and with python2/python3, It is just a proof of concept. Now Francesco it is working to better integrate this draft with QGIS stuff. The idea was heavily based on formlayout code: https://code.google.com/p/formlayout/ Basically each parameter is a GUI field that it is add to the main window, therefore based on the parameter type the field could be: if "raster"/"vector" => a combo box with the rasters/vectors available if "integer" => a spinbox if "string"/"double" => a text field if "file" => a file dialog based on the guisection parameter all the options are organized in tabs. The code is under 500 lines of code. I guess should be possible to follow the same approach using the wxpython. I think that with a bit more effort should be possible to make it general enough to make it independent from the GUI framework (Qt/Wx) that we want to use. I have not link to share at this stage because we are still working on it. But I guess we can share the code as soon as we have something that it is able to cover the basic needs.
