Heres how I've done that. I run a Python program either from a 
command prompt (or IDE) for interactive debugging purposes, or as a 
background process under scheduled tasks.

The program watches for tasks from the GUI using sockets or some more 
sophisticated layer on top of sockets, XMLRPC being one example, or 
periodically queries a database or file to see if there is something to do.
