[bop-devel] Python gateway module

[David Pratt]

Hi Ivan. I am happy to hear from you after a few months :-)  I don't 
think these ideas are too pie in the sky at all but more of an 
evolution. I am involved in a couple of e-commerce projects on different 
python frameworks and I believe something like this is long overdue.

If you are game, I'd like to see if there are perhaps a couple of other 
folks on the python side I could stir up to get our heads together with 
you (and any other interested folks). It would be great see if we can 
formulate something meaningful. I think XML would be the way to go with 
this personally.

Regards,
David
