Whatever works, but if energy would be spent better on other things that
need to be done first, that=E2=80=99s ok, too. This is a wishlist thing for=
 me.

My particular usage would prefer, at least, to be able to make slightly
more populated input popups where I can have text inputs, drop downs, radio
buttons, etc., all in a single window. At the moment, using the few popup
types available, I have to use anywhere from 2-6 individual input text
boxes because the popup only allows for one at a time. It=E2=80=99s not a h=
uge
deal, just a convenience thing.

Ideally, being able to have a live connection between the outline editor
and a separate input popup, that would allow me to =E2=80=9Capply=E2=80=9D =
an affect
(similar to the current transform GUI) would be nice, but not critical.

I=E2=80=99m grateful for whatever can be done since I have about 30-50 plug=
ins I
regularly use and being able to streamline them would be great, but don=E2=
=80=99t
feel like this needs to be top priority. This change to Python 3 is a good
one and it finally gives me a solid reason to port my own code to Python 3.

Best,
Abraham
