I do agree that it would be very nice to have a set of standard functions and classes that were not tied to a particular GUI. I think Bruce agrees too, hence Demeter.
It seems worth mentioning that Demeter is already highly usable and ships with numerous examples, including examples of doing the specific things Jack asked about. I use it for my own data analysis chores all the time. In fact, just today I wrote this rather elaborate data analysis example to show off some of Demeter's cool new Feff-related capabilities: http://cars9.uchicago.edu/iffwiki/Demeter/Cookbook/06Uranyl Of course, using Demeter means writing perl programs. But that ain't *so* bad, is it...?
