[QGIS-Developer] Interaction API?

[G. Allegri]

Of course you can use PyQGIS to run standalone scripts, not only for
plugins, and that's what I was assuming from Andrea's request.
We have been using this approach in several contexts, even headless (server
applications).

Another option could be run a "micro server" inside a pyqgis plugin and
serve an ad-hoc API from it :)
