need advise on python or language selection for Qt app Jan 23rd 2013, 16:36 I am just starting down the road to make a hazel knockoff for KDE and want to use Qt for the front end. I really have no experience so I need some suggestions on what language to use on the back end. I have some limited experience with python 2.6 and was considering using Python as the code that does all the hard work. I also wonder if QML would be a viable alternative? Does anyone know if Python or QML has all the abilities needed to do what hazel does? So essentially this language needs to be able to do the following: 1) I have to be able to write/understand it without professional training ( to me python fits this bill but QML may be within my grasp) 2) monitor a folder for changes without a ton of cpu usage (maybe kde has an api which python/QML can use)? 3) use metadata to figure out which files to move and maybe move by time stamps 4) variable substitution --- have not figured this out yet but when the different rules are changed in the GUI they need to be easily changed in the running backend.?? I am thinking this could be a plasmoid or maybe a full app type thing, I have not decided. Also, can Qt Quick be used as the front end?
