Thank you for your feedback. So, evidently, you haven't dealt with the usual sort who own CC200-20, CC100-20 or WB100-20 plotters, eh :-)?
I tried to explain the Python install process (BTW, you need GLADE for the GUI as well as a Python interpreter for the graphtecprint application) to some of these people. I could only imagine the blank looks I was getting (internet has a way of filtering that out).
So make it easy. Package up all the deps with pyinstaller or py2exe. Change gui libs to something easier to package. Make an installer with nsis. Its possible, maybe not super easy always.
Interesting - I assume there are howto's w.r.t. these package'ing utilities?
And it will be difficult to find help because there just aren't that many people with these devices to test it and assist you. I'd love to help, but I just don't have any clue about this sort of equipment.

The problem isn't that there are not people w/this type of hardware, it's that they are more likely to know how to run a craft store then to know anything about writing code :-). Don't believe me? Drop in to their yahoo group and read the posts :-) :-).
If we can solve this plotter obsolescence problem, inkscape will pickup dozen if not hundreds of new users.
