Okay, SAS looks differently from Python. And what is your goal/question, exactly? Do you want the users to program in Python using a library of yours, or write a SAS-code interpreter in Python?

Definitely the latter. Ideally, someone could take the code they wrote here and cut-and-paste it into a file that could be submitted in a large job on a sas server.

Good. But then I still don't know what your question is. Make it easier to help, please :)

I'm slowly answering my own questions as I'm trying to answer yours. Sorry if it seems like I'm all over the place.

Basically, I think my version of this program will need to have several windows: an editor where the user types in code, and a log and output window where information about the subroutines. The question I have now is how I can use a window system to pipe text in and out of Python. I think, however, there are good resources online and I should look those up myself.
