Hi David, That's definitely possible. I am doing something similar with the tool that I am developing (see www.simba.io). However, please note that if you base your UI on WPF: - Your app will be only compatible with Windows - The size of the Python module might be quite large
Microsoft did not put a lot of effort on WPF recently, If you are familiar with XAML/C#, you can also look at .Net MAUI, the Windows APP Sdk (Project Reunion) or AvaloniaUI. I hope this helps.
