Right - I actually did that with tundra1, authentication against simiangrid (which is a apache+php+mysql thing for having user accounts and info about them and world regions etc) in Python with xmlrpc, https://github.com/realXtend/naali/blob/tundra/bin/pymodules/simiangrid/auth.py That's exactly the sort of thing i meant with 'system integrations', integrations to authentication, group, project management etc things. Server side, where it is not a problem that it is trusted installed code (javascript is good in the client side for downloaded code which is executed in a sandbox). > understand, this is not possible to use Javascript for that... One thing to note there is that the Tundra JS environment is not limited like the one in browsers -- just the programming language is the same, but the API is different. In Tundra you have all of Qt + the Tundra API, and for Qt there is the SQL extension which perhaps works for DB connections etc nicely too. But still Python is more common in general for such things (e.g. web backends with databases) and has lots of nice libraries etc for that. > Vik ~Toni -- http://groups.google.com/group/realxtend http://www.realxtend.org
