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. 😄

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?
