monolithic apps
 

Any suggestions for study?..:
Is is possible to take a large executable with GUI and real time data and images, to extract modules, and it can run as if it looks like a monolithicapplication (windows over main windows, or images over other images) but is various python script driven modules calling each other as separate apps?

Hey Thanks, Dave!
Definitely (2). However: you say "and other windows all belong to it." That is not such a great idea as long as the main window can close the other windows. But that's the point.
I have a humongous commercial app in C++ on Win32. (It could require porting at some time because main tools it uses could get ported by separate vendor) So what I'd like to do is write real-time imaging functions separatelyand control them using python scripting with whatever windows or overlayedimages are needed. Debug these separately and call+control them as individual stand alone, and glue together as needed. glue being mainly python, and what is being glued would also be controlled as separate python modules.This ends up running as one monolithic application that looks the same (better I hope) as the previous huge monolithic win32 app.
thanks again!

Glue not just python but whatever is needed to communicate back and forth. lots of data, but whatever could be glue in python of course. The C++ glue and functions would be controlled as python data and communicated between different modules.
