pynthon and flex

My question is how best is it to get Flex (ArcServer) to talk to the python script.

The best way is to publish it as a Geoprocessor task and then use the Geoprocessor class in the Flex API to connect to that published task.

Are you familiar with publishing geoprocessing services with the map service to display the results? Basically it's the same process as that.

Watch for the limitations though.. you'll have to pass in strings instead of the actual raster layers/tables to that geoprocessing service. Took me like 2 weeks to get the whole process right. I was rewritting the weighted overlay tool as a flex service.
