WIP: Prototype for filing out lab config files

[jakirkham]

Basically, this let's one fill out a config file with PyQt4. It still needs a conda package to make install. That ends up being quite easy to do I just might want to rename things here. Also, we might want a clickable app as opposed to a command line call. Again this should be pretty easy to do. This is kind of what it looks like. Right now it is very free form so anything can go in these fields. Basically I just use the fields from the Excel sheet. We can add default value fields as needed.

One can fill this out. Tabbing is possible between fields. Here is a sample of it filled out.

Once done, one merely selects "Ok" and a File Dialog comes up. Currently this saves data as JSON (pretty easy to read in all languages) though other formats can be used.

If you try to overwrite a file, it warns you and checks to see if that is ok.

The final output is formatted with a computer program or human reader in mind.

{
 "Rig_Name": "Falcon", 
 "User": "Luke Skywalker", 
 "Proj_Code": "Force", 
 "Rec_Sys": "BlackRock_Cerebus", 
 "Behav_Code_Ver": "1.0.0", 
 "NS_Path": "/home/lskywalker/data/ns", 
 "Behav_Path": "/home/lskywalker/data/bhv", 
 "Jpos_X_Ch": "0", 
 "Jpos_Y_Ch": "1", 
 "Mpos_X_Ch": "2", 
 "Mpos_Y_Ch": "3", 
 "Lick_Ch": "4", 
 "Rew_Ch": "5", 
 "Trial_Start_Ch": "6", 
 "Trial_Event_Ch": "7"
}

This was pretty fast to whip up and certainly can be played with further. Feedback welcome. 😄

Also, feel free to cc others. Basically just picked the most interested people so far. 😉

Did a bit more clean up. Now has some mechanisms for packaging and installation. Some other minor tweaks are still worthy of consideration.
