Thanks, that looks very nice.  I'm also aware of a similar interface at
http://nexpy.github.io/nexpy/pythongui.html#fitting-nexus-data, and I have
some similar (less complete) wx widgets for some of my  data
collection/visualization tools.

It does seem like there is a need for a GUI interface for "simple peak
fitting" similar to Origin or ftyk that is very easy to use for simple
cases but powerful enough to allow complex work.  I would imagine that
IPython notebooks or Qt would be the most obvious tool-kit choices, but I
don;t know either of these tools very well.  I'm sure that being friendly
to Pandas Series and datasets from HDF5 files would be greatly appreciated
too.  I don't think it would be a huge effort for a properly motivated
person.
