Now I want to spread my wings a little. How do I call a C language executable subprogram from Python and pass information back and forth?
When you say "subprogram", do you mean that you want to start and communicate with a whole new process, or do you merely want to invoke some dynamically loaded entry point within the same process? For the former, use the subprocess module. For the latter, use the ctypes module (or consider using Cython instead of pure Python if Scribus will support it).
