Don't ask me why, but we have a bunch of legacy code in PHP on a
server and a wee-bit of Python code for integrating GData google
calendar services. We now need to build a way of sending messages
between them. The general flow is:
PHP Web Page(on apache) ---> Python Gdata Consumer -----> Gdata
and then json is returned back like:
PHP Web Page<----json data---- Pthon Gdata Consumer
So I tried to convince my boss to let me use the python c extension to
write a native bridge but 'no dice'. He also does not want anything
'experimental' so pyphp is out. He'd like me to basically have them
communicate by passing the json via http/apache - so in essence, I'll
have to make (what I feel) are very expensive calls between two
objects that, in a perfect world, would be on the same machine in the
same language! I see this as a potential bottleneck. Any suggestions?
I have to start prototyping this today so the sooner the better, um,
please  Thanks gurus out there. |

Use sockets. They are efficient and both languages have good implementations.

Thanks Larry I'll look into going that route. |

I wouldn't even try to reinvent the wheel in such a case. You are
going to use GData and yet consider HTTP over LAN to be expensive. Get
real, man. Save yourself a time by not developing and supporting your
own very special wheel. Your boss is not that stupid as he probably
seems to you. |
