Yep both apps are on the same machine, the company just wants to put a corporate GUI on my Python code to claim it as their own because they cant work out how to convert some of the Python to C++ - I leverage the Python interpreter parsing to evaluate some fairly complex and user changeable logical expressions + I have written a class that sits on top of Reportlab to generate the PDF manuals. They don't want to re-write that either :) I am now learning C++, its interesting - takes a lot of code to do what in Python takes a line or two .... I had never heard of SOAP - there is just so much out there but it does seem to be for remote apps. SQLite ? - just Googled it and it looks interesting. Licence seems OK too - these guys are allergic to the GPL - reportlab is BSD. That's another reason that they want their own GUI - QT4 on windows ....
