Python in Process Control?

You mean XML-DA, I guess?

Indeed, the standardisation of SOAP as a protocol for process control makes
Python an even more interesting candidate for such applications. Because
with Python, implementing SOAP clients and server should be ridiculously
more efficient concerning development effort compared to most lower-level
languages and ridiculously more efficient concerning runtime resource
requirements compared to Java.
