I really like that somebody has written in in Python. There is one similar tool which was written in NodeJS, I couldn't get that to work.

One question - Is the back-end modular enough, that anybody can read the source and write the front-end in PyQt?

yes. the whole thing's only like 500 lines of code. literally wrote it in about 2 evenings after work. should be easy to port to pyqt.

i haven't tried, but you're right in theory very possible. i'm really a fan of OS specific GUIs tho - i'd advise someone use the same underlying python casting API to write a native windows frontend.

that said, not opposed to PRs that add support for it.
