It is a general Wizard Builder with which you could build a Wizard that 
asks for all the necessary information to auto-generate a Python Product 
(for example).

Exactly that. But the SmartWizard would provide you with a framework to 
build this "Make New Python Product Wizard". If I get far enough, I will 
release the pre alpha today, just you see the proof of concept...

>Or are we talking past eachother here?

Nope, we don't. But SmartWizard is a more general tool than you were 
thinking of it.

>It would be very cool to have a tool like that.

I agree. It is annoying to code all that stuff all the time.
