No worries. Initially it got too unwieldy because I tried to do it inside the notebook. Revisited the idea today and kept everything outside and made a somewhat non-trivial UI in an hour or so using the code I'd already created in Python.
What is protoc? I'm built on the pure c++ API. The python and c++ are running in the same process space, no http, tcp, etc movement to get data to/from python
Rithmic API uses Google's Protocol Buffers to transmit data (instead of JSON, XML, etc.). Protoc is a compiler uses to translate between Python codes and Protocol Buffers.
I don't believe this is true of the c++ API, it uses openssl to communicate with the outside world (I think) Could you point you provide a reference?

That is NOT the c++ API. It will be much much slower. It has go through a port, as opposed to shared memory.
