Say this scenario...

pA.py contains
imports (something non-pure python)
def A(n):
    ...(does something)...
    returns pO

pB.py comtains
import pA
def B(n):
    (does something)
    x = pA.A(n)
    (does more things)

How can I get Java to call pA.A function and then receives the object it 
returns? I am considering SOAP or CORBA, but just wondering if there is 
any other ways without resorting to network or socket programming, since 
all modules are on the same machine?

Thanks
Maurice
