Does the sim/tklinuxcnc config start OK? That uses the same loop.

github.com/LinuxCNC/linuxcnc/blob/master...lib/core_sim.hal#L46

gui is launching i cant move the stepper with arrows because i am locked and i can not turn the machine on

Are you saying the GUI never launches?

import linuxcnc and hal into the Python script, then create HAL pins to receive the spindle commands from HAL.

Load the Python script at load-time with a "loadusr" command in the HAL.

this is what i get running it from commandline. task: main loop ........

Can you report this problem on the issue tracker?

if this:

net estop-loop =>iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
net estop-loop => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

does not work, it's most likely because you have
estop-loop connected to another pin in the hal file.

Starting LinuxCNC from the command line will show the actual error.

Off-topic but I am impressed with the multiprocess welder at my local Hackspace. It allows you to keep both MIG and TIG torches permanently connected and has separate gas input spigots for each process gas. 
You are not wrong about the "serious money" part, though.

axis not working over vnc in my setup,

net estop-loop =>iocontrol.0.user-enable-out
net estop-loop => iocontrol.0.emc-enable-in

this is resulting in tklinuxcnc not starting, maybe its working with older software versions.
