I can't imagine I'll be immersing myself in this.  I did take a look to 
see if anyone is developing some kind of simple IDE to build lenses in a 
simple environment.  This seems to be the nearest I got:

singlet seems to be a Python class library containing all the stuff 
required to build lenses with little effort.  I might have a go - I want 
to learn Python anyhow so I can buy a Raspberry Pi for the local junior 
school and show the kids how to write simple games.  I got a couple of 
online books that give some real possibilities.

Regards,        Barry.
