Poking around options for integrating an online app with Quickbooks, I've made a lot of headway with QBWC, but it's fairly ugly. From an end user perspective the usability of QBWC is pretty low.

Intuit is now pushing Intuit Partner Platform (IPP) and Intuit Data Services (IDS). I can't quite figure out what these are about:

Is IPP limited to using Flex, or can it work with existing web apps?
Are there APIs for actual data exchange? Is it possible to interact with desktop Quickbooks using IPP or IDS?
If there is sample code, particularly in Python, some pointers would be great.
