I don't know enough about jython to understand what has to be done. Let's say I can write the code to retrieve the data in cPython. And I can write a module in jython that will accept the data passing it on to the report writer. How can I call the jython program? It can't be called from the cPython program - right? So the jython runs stand alone - right? IPC = Inter-process communication - right? Does that mean I need to write some sort of server?
