I'm looking for some advice mainly here.
I'm working on an application, where the main processing (stored on a server) is carried out in C++ and the GUI (front-end) is carried out in Python. These two programs will communicate with each other. The Python will send across the files needed for the C++ program to work, and give the C++ program some data to work with.. The back-end will then communicate back with the processed data.
Would therefore it be better to use Sockets? I thought about completing this using text files, but, have gone off this idea, instead will just save the data as a .txt file so it can be opened up in future instances. Also, if I was to use sockets, would there be any conflict in using Python/C++?
Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
