Hi All,

I am going to try and learn Python because I want to write at least
one program to help my disabled son with communitation.

I am not asking for anyone to do this for me I simply want to know if
I can do what I need to do with Python ....

Basically the program will blank the screen and call up (for example)
6 pictures.  A flashing border with travel from picture to picture.
When the computer senses a mouse click it will clear the screen and
present a second set of choices ... one level deeper than the first
... based on the chosen picture.

So again ...  "menu pictures" of food, drink, tv are highlited for 5
seconds each.  the chooser sends an input (mouse click for eample)
while the tv is highlited.  The screen clears and another picture menu
appears ... this one a deeper level of the chose TV - maybe it is
pictures of a cartoon and a ball ... a ball is chosen ... the screeen
clears and menu choices of a baseball, basketball or football
appear... my son chooses the baseball ... he has now worked through
three menu levels to let us know what he would like to watch on TV....

Can python do this?  I realize I am responsible for the menu sets,
pictures .... attaching sounds etc .... 

TIA

Mike
