(I saw you also asked me privately, but I'll respond here)

XWisp works that way. I wrote it and use it on Windows, but I got
reports from all kinds of Linux (including Mac) users that it works OK
for them. The drawback is that on Windows you need to install Python and
the Win32 extensions, which is a bit tedious for an end-user.
