I'm working on a project to port qgis-web-client under Django, witht the aim
to build a Qgis Server web based manager and extended service provider.
We've already implemented a basic structure, with a proxy (a Django view) to
intercept the calls to qgis_mapserv.fcgi, and a view/template to expose the
qgis-web-min.
We would like to work as we used to do with Mapserver mapscript, to be able
to have full control of the requests/responses flow, e.g. to implement
authentication on specific services, requests and layers. We also would like
to manage project options inside Django models. All these kind of things
would be easy to implement if there were some kind of python bindings for
Qgis Server. (PS: in this moment we do it controlling the query variables
passed to the fcgi and filtering the fcgi requests)
I see that qgis_mapserv.fcgi's code is statically linked in a monolithic
fcgi executable, so it isn't possible to offer specific functionalities
(e.g. project parsing) to external libs. To expose classes and methods we
would need a version of qgis server's code made by dynamic libraries. Would
it be possible?
Otherwise, which solutions would you suggest to build a Qgis Server Python
API?
I premit that we're considering to sponsor its development.
Wonderful what client side libs are you using? ext3 still? I'm a
django + jquery fan and would love to see something along the lines of
what you describe built on that stack.
Note also that LizMap have AFAIK implemented a similar system (proxied
access to QGIS Server with a custom web client) but in php, maybe
there are ideas that can be lifted from their code.

Have a nice weekend,
