I would be very supportive and enthusiastic about this.
Brian Granger has created a Python spkg with good

I haven't included it yet in SAGE only due to lack of
time, necessity, and testing, but want to include it soon.
It would make building a GUI easier.

Michael Abshoff did a ton of work toward this, but some
work remains to be done. If you want to give it a shot
check out for the current version:

That make sense. Please bring this up again when the
time is right. I'll be very supportive.
