As I see it you might separate the console frontend from your database/ model backend and reuse your database code. The next step would be selecting a webframework that allows you to plugin your own database driver which has to be wrapped into a Python module. For wrapping into a Python module there are several alternatives. SWIG and BOOST.Python are most natural solutions for wrapping C++ code and exposing its functionality to Python. Other options are writing a C interface to your database and use ctypes, Pythons stdlib FFI ( see Python 2.5 docs ). Not sure if there are tools yet to derive a C interface automatically from C++ classes. If so I would prefer the FFI approach. For database plugins: a framework like Pylons [1] seems to be particularly suited for this option but I would recommend requesting answers by the Pylons community directly.
