Hello,
I want to build a Python based user interface for an existing Fortran
application (as everyone wants to do ). Lets assume the application is
parametrised via cmdline parameters and it calculates tons of numbers
that have to find their way into the Python UI. There are several ways
to achieve this: using stdin/stdout to exchange data, using files,
converting the application to a library and load that from Python,
etc.
I thought about equipping the Fortran application with sockets, so that
I can send input data and commands (which is now done via cmd line) and
reading output data back. Any opinions on this? Best pratices?
