That is a very good way of sketching it, but even the last part is sometimes not the easiest to do.
I've written a 'media-player-annex-file-sharing-service' ( http://mxchg.com/ ), the thing has a web based front-end written in PHP and a C based back end for audio fingerprinting (so you don't end up storing 10 copies of each possible audio file).
When the time rolled around to write the scripts that glue everything together in the back-end I chose to do it in PHP instead of python for several reasons:
- it reduced the number of dependencies
- it removed the need to rewrite part of the code in yet another language
(mostly library stuff)
- it removed the need for yet another skill in people wishing to modify it
