Probably, but KDE's Kommander and Kaptain are written with similer aims, a IDE and GUI builder for any scripting language the base linux system supports. They are based on Trolltech's Qt Script, and depending on your needs that itself may suffice. While the K brothers are aimed towards casual users writing stuff for themselves, QSA's approach is largely to let application developers provide scriptability to their users.
For more details: $ wget http://cesnet.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/quanta/kommander-supplement.tar... or: $ wget www.rootshell.be/~upadhyay/resize.kmdr $ kmdr-editor resize.kmdr $ kmdr-executor resize.kmdr
When you do that look for "Edit Text Association" after right clicking on various widgets in the form, esp on the "Resize" button. You will need recent version of Quanta installed on your system though.
Ofcourse MyQSL etc has to be done by some scripting language/a.out. Python is quite nice, so is perl, php etc.
Have fun.
