Project Ideas Convert Workbench to Python

Convert Workbench to Python

This is an exploratory project to vet the idea of converting some or all of the Workbench to python.

We originally chose NodeJS and JavaScript for the Workbench, as we could easily distribute an application that could run on all platforms. For this, the Workbench has worked great. However, the AboutCode organization primarily uses Python, and many of our member have much more experience with Python than JavaScript. The reliance on "foreign" technology has made development of the Workbench much slower.

The goal of this project is to evaluate the effort of converting the Workbench to Python. In this sense, the project is pretty open-ended and we hope to community can add their own ideas/feedback to this project.
