For example - or better, instead of passing XML use an RPC mechanism Python is good at - e.g. corba. So you could do some java middleware-thing here, actually done in jython for convenience. Still, not the nicest of architectures - but a goable way. > > win32 isn't an option, we only have *nix-boxes around and we plan to stay > that way. But can't you run some service on the .net-boxes? And what's about mono? There is an .net based python out there - afaik even two: One is written to be running on .net (and thus might be able to be running on mono, interfacing .net-components remotely), one "only" gives access to .net objects - so you could use that to create teh necessary middleware.
