Actually according to the above paragraph, he suggests putting them all in
a seperate class. So pseudo-code...
class Pipe:
All things related to pipe program here.
class GUI:
def __init__(self):
self stuff defined etc.
def makeGuiStuff(self):
connetion = Pipe(initial variables)
make gui stuff here
put all button events such as
calculate(command = connection.calculate)
(I told you it was pseudo-code)
