[kepler-dev] PythonScript example workflow for dynamic GUI dialogs

[Bertram Ludaescher]

This sounds very good!

In prehistoric Kepler times, we did some rerouting of actor output to the
user's default browser, letting the user inspect (or modify) data, before it
is fed back into the pipeline.

Seems that this would be possible now in a more integrated manner.

Having said this, I still think a "detour through the default web browser"
can be a useful thing...
