Victor et al. -

Before I get too deeply involved with GUI's and csndsugui, I'd like to make 
sure it's not possible to create "normal" (i.e., non-GUI) Python scripts as 
Sugar Activities (simulating the command line).

My Activities could really take advantage an opening text dialog (as well as 
explanatory text) as a way of choosing among versions (.csd's) and to set 
variables/options. So, no required graphics at all. The only real trick will 
be to call the appropriate .csd at the end of the dialog, and I assume that 
an "import csd" would take care of this.

If such is possible, I'd appreciate some guidance as to which parts of 
waves.py (from Victor's Waves.activities) might be necessary as a base to 
create this "hybrid."

I don't know really; csndsugui uses sugar.activity, which AFAIK is
not designed for the command-line. Perhaps you should just use
PyGTK directly.
