What I trying to do is: The GUI is sending me same datas and I like to
return a chart as a bitmap or something else. I know, I could write
the bitmap in a file and open the file from the GUI, but this is
simply to slow.

The GUI is ACCESS 2000 or VISUAL BASIC or something else but NOT
Python. That means, even when I change to an "REAL" SQL-Server, my
front end would still be VISUAL BASIC. The GUI would request some
datas from the SQL-Server, send it to my Python COMServer and my
COMServer would return a chart as a visualisation.

Beside, I know I could do everthing in python (wxWindows, ZODB or
Gadfly, Python). But unforternatly, I have some hardware interfaces
with DLL drivers without source and not the time to put everthing
together by my self with python.
