Hi, I would be interested in your opinion about what technology you considear the ideal technology for implementing in Python an agent that should comunicate information to a web server. I have read about SOAP but I'm now sure if this will be the right one. The aim of the agent is gather inventory information and the web application (I'm programming it in Django) will receive this information and will store it in the database and will show it in tables.
The choice of protocol depends a lot on what you want to transfer. SOAP would be a good choice if you want to send to data to other servers as well, e.g. Java-based ones. XML-RPC and JSON are better for simple data structures. If you have control over both client and server and don't need to bother with other backends or frontends, Python pickle is the best choice. -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Services directly from the Source (#1, May 08 2008) >>> Python/Zope Consulting and Support ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC.Zope.Database.Adapter ... http://zope.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ :::: Try mxODBC.Zope.DA for Windows,Linux,Solaris,MacOSX for free ! :::: eGenix.com Software, Skills and Services GmbH Pastor-Loeh-Str.48 D-40764 Langenfeld, Germany.
