I've mentioned a few times that I wrote a program to drill PLLs by presenting random scrambles to you that you run, then look down at the cube, try to recognize the PLL, and execute the PLL to solve the cube. I've included embedded U face turns, as well as y cube rotations, so the PLLs will be presented more like you'd see them in a cube solve. Someone asked about it, so I decided to go ahead and post it here.
This is alpha software, is not feature complete, and doesn't even have an installer.
Here are a couple of screen shots:
This program is NOT designed to time you on PLLs. It's purpose is to improve your PLL recognition and execution by presenting random PLLs ON THE CUBE via the scrambles it gives you.
The options menu will allow you to select which PLLs to drill on; the default is all of them, but you can select any combination you'd like; for example if you are having trouble with 4 or 5 of the PLLs, you might drill on just those for a while.
Finally, since this is written in Python, it should run on Windows, Linux, and Mac. I've tested it on Windows XP and Linux successfully.
You can download the latest package, with a windows EXE here.

The source code is attached for anyone that wants to run in on Linux or Macintosh.
I hope someone else finds this useful.
