Just a suggestion: another way could be to use XML-RPC. It's a lightweight distributed computing technology. Python standard library has an XML-RPC module. I'm not sure, but I think there may be a similar module for C. I'm almost certain there is one for C++. Try xmlrpc.com or xml-rpc.com and also Google for appropriate patterns, e.g. "XML-RPC library for C". Try a few variations on the pattern, that helps. Yet another way - might be suitable only if your Python script and your C program can both read/write standard input/output, and one is a producer and the other is the related consumer. In this case you can just use: $ python my_python_script | my_C_binary or the other way around, as per need.
