Yea, if Axis is replaced with a gtk and python GUI pyvcp would need replacing as well. Something to think about, a no programming required replacement for pyvcp... seems like we have part of the puzzle with GladeVCP. All we need it some kind of GUI that can read in the files and you just pick what you want connected to what... makes me think of Blade Runner for some strange reason.
