Three ways of doing this: 1. Turn your C program into a library, and write a Python extension module to interface it. 2. Embed Python in your C program. 3. If you're talking command-line programs, you can interface the compiled programs with the subprocess module. For (1) and (2), start with the Extending/Embedding section at http://docs.python.org/py3k/ (or http://docs.python.org/). With (1), using Cython or SWIG might make writing the "glue" between Python and your C code easier. For (3), check the docs of the subprocess module. It might, however, be best to simply write the GUI in C as well, which would avoid the overhead of loading Python and isn't all that difficult either. If you know C++, check out wxWidgets and Qt4. To stick with plain C, have a look at GTK+. Cheers, Thomas -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
