This is correct.

To be precise, my scenario is:

I have an IDE that includes a GUI builder. The GUI builder allows
the user to draw windows / dialog boxes on the screen. These are saved
as .gui files. The builder then compiles them into .py files.

Now, let's imagine I (or someone else) wants to edit the application
without having the IDE to hand. Can they hand-edit .gui files?
Can they translate .gui files into .py files (is the translator 
open source?)?
