More specific, I am talking about Christopher Harvey's idea to design an application that raises statistics on the installed packages on a system (see [1]). Let me explain my issue: In the first place, I am a Java developer and I consider my Java skills to be quite well. The point is that java is not part of a minimal gentoo system, whereas Python is. I would not have problems with Python, but I would have to learn the API of a GUI toolkit (preferably PyQt). What is your opinion: Would you be okay with a Java application or would you rather like to have a Python based one or even some other language? And finally, how much time do you think will it cost to work through the Qt API?
