I think the original poster is looking for a way to automate an existing GUI process, and screen-scrape the resulting output from this existing GUI. He does not say what OS he is working on, so it's hard to really suggest anything. If he's on Windows, I'd give a look at AutoIt[1], which has its own complete programming language. I know with AutoIt I could click on buttons and then scrape text from an edit box. AutoIt probably has the ability to write this data out to a file as well. Not Python, but hey.
