Prior versions did communicate with the backend. Then we revamped the GUI, 
which was mainly done by Richard in a hhuge one man effort - and as he had no 
previous experience with Python, he simply left all the backend related stuff 
out. I was supposed to fix that, but had no time since I just bought a 
practice, which resulted in too much unexpected work for me (with now 7 new 
employees). But I am getting there.

The only part that still uses the backend, is the appointment calendar. It can 
be used as example how to do it.

Yes. Re service broker have a look at gmPG.py. Written in Python, of course 
;-)
