Did you concider using OSC as an "abstraction layer" between your GUI &
Engine? Spares quite a lot of nasty shared-mem tricks, and RCU, well.. is
suppose you could have the editing commands sent to engine, or else run the
algo on the GUI side, and update the sequence in the engine.
Check out the OSC Blob functions (sends binary data), using that and the
Python Ctypes modules I think something should be possible.
I'm not sure is this the best way to go as I don't know all your
requirements of the Engine...
