All, I'm currently working with a small development company on a PHP application they already have. There are several processing tasks that could be scripted in Python and run in the background to modify a database, instead of the way they have it now, which waits for a webpage to return from processing.
There is also the possibility of building client gui applications that work with the database as well, so I'm looking for a way I could create a code base that enables us to use the same functions and objects over and over again while building interfaces in Python, or PHP, or whatever. Is there a way I could code the base (core) code in Python and have PHP call it? I've really liked using SQLAlchemy and there are other great things like Pylons I could integrate for various tasks, but I first have to move some functionality out of PHP and into something more "universal". What would you recommend? Any ideas are appreciated. Brian -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
