gdcl-py - gdcl in Pytnon

[ghost]

Is it possible rewrite original gdcl to Python?

Absolutely! The capabilities of both languages are quite similar so I don't think there is any reason why it couldn't be done. :smile:

So, I has idea on creating cutted version of GoldenDict for using Python3 and PyQt5.

There are few projects that I want use as base:

• Python3
  • http://github.com/prodotiscus/iron-dict/
• Ruby
  • https://github.com/dohliam/gdcl/
• Qt/C++
  • https://github.com/kernel1024/goldendict-lib/

I want make dictionary app limited to DSL dictionary format support.

• Format support:
  • raw DSL - .dsl;
    • https://github.com/Tvangeste/SampleDSL/
    • https://github.com/open-dsl-dict/
  • DSL compressed with dictzip/dictizip;
    • https://github.com/bauman/python-idzip
  • some online dictionary (optional);
• Platforms:
  • GUI (PyQt5):
    • Mobile & Tablet UI (Android);
    • Desktop UI (Linux, macOS, etc.);
  • CLI (pure Python3):
    • run on Android using Termux with python (Python3) package installed;
    • run on Desktop with Python3 installed from terminal (bash, cmd, etc.);

Could you give me some advice on what should I do? Maybe, you would be interested in such app development to?
