Okay people this is an easy one. I want my python program to sit and listen for another process to tell it what to do.

ProcessA.c starts -> 
    ProcessA starts python listener program -> 
    ProcessA asks it for stuff from time to time

I can make my python program sit and wait for input, but after that I'm stuck. Do I need to use sockets?

What can I use to talk to my running python program from another program?

Since this is a self-admitted duplicate, you should probably delete this question. – Darrick Herwehe Apr 12 '14 at 23:12
I wasn't able to locate that via Google easily though so I think it's still valuable to have that question reworded here for future lost pythonians. – CornSmith Apr 19 '14 at 21:05
