Embedding Python and building the Python modules are priority one. I
have a decent GUI already, but it was primarily developed to help me
when I wanted to save time using and programming my own robots for
testing (remember the "good" old days when GUIs were
time-saving?). With wxPython, it's really incredibly easy to develop a
GUI for this software. I basically make a bunch of buttons and sliders
that call the same functions I'm using anyway (Took about 2 days to
work up the GUI in the screenshot on the website 
http://eggo.sourceforge.net/screenshot.jpg :-)
