As suggested by Gary, I had a look on both python-tools and how to use Java api/application from python/django. It turns out it's not so hard. We can use any of the packages available like JPy, Py4J, JPype, javabridge, Jython and JCC. After reading their documentations, I would suggest we use JPype and Py4j.
Apart from that, I have forked and compiled both the java tools and python-tools on my localhost. I have got the hang of python tools and tested it out extensively. I am not able to run java tools untill now but will look into its problems soon. I also had a look at specification from spdx.org, I didn't read it thoroughly but I understood some of the main purposes and their meta data. *After going through all this, I would suggest we build a Django server for uploading, parsing and validating SPDX since Django not only provides security but also provides a great platform with easily integrable modules to efficiently work with. We can use already build Java library with some good python-java bridge(as suggested above) and add document format conversion with python * *as it provides almost all conversion support.* *We could also use code from python-tools for some implementations. * Suggestions and improvements are welcomed. I will also start working on the issues and pull requests on both python-tools and java tools once my exams get over. Thanks -Rohit Lodha
