Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The GUI currently exports directly to JSON, which is fragile to updates in PyPES.
Describe the solution you'd like
Instead, we should ideally have a PyPES backend so that we build the model directly in Python and use the built-in PyPES export functions. This will reduce the chances of error and be easier to maintain as PyPES is updated.
Describe alternatives you've considered
As long as the JSON export is fully tested, the current method accomplishes the goal of exporting to PyPES. It is just that GUI => JSON => PyPES is more error prone than GUI => PyPES
