In response to all of these and the general heavily repeated mantra
here that "there is no easy to use GUI builder for Python", OK, tell
you what:  describe what the "GUI that an engineer would want to make"
should look like--give all widgets and their bindings--and I will see
about making a video that shows how easy this is to do with a GUI
builder, even with the user having a very rudimentary (or perhaps
zero) knowledge of wxPython.  And it will be timed.  Let's test your
idea for real. (I should note, I don't know what an "input mask"
refers to above).
