So, basically, as much as I liked the python version, the python -> exe option is not a good option. The false positive virus thing is just a deal breaker, and with the dependencies being somewhat non-trivial to install in windows, just running the python script isn't going to work for most people. So, this is yet another re-write, this time in electron.
The only "hiccup" is that I don't believe I can leverage electron auto-updating with code-signing the app, and that just isn't in the budget. (if anyone knows of a free / low cost option, I'm all ears)
