Python Considering Re-Writing Open Source Code in Qt for Science Research

Click For Summary
The discussion centers on the potential re-writing of a 700-line open source code from wxPython to PyQt for scientific research purposes. The original poster seeks community feedback on the feasibility and worthiness of this endeavor, as well as an estimate of the time required for the conversion. Key considerations include the specific code to be converted and the new functionalities intended to be added. The community emphasizes that the value of the conversion largely depends on the extent and nature of the new features planned for integration into the existing codebase.

I found some open source code in wx that I'm considering re-writing in qt and adding some new functionality to. It's for science research.

Before I do, I wanted some feedback from the community if this is a worth while endeavor and an estimate of how long it would take. It's about 700 lines of code.

it's in python
 
I'm very familiar with wxpython and somewhat familiar with pyqt. What's the code you want to convert? What kind of functionality did you want to add? Whether it's worth it to convert to Qt depends on how much new functionality you are planning and what that functionality is.
