How can a Django application interact with other python programs running on the same server?

We have various python applications of varying sizes in our arsenal that provide specific services. What I intend to do is create a website using Django that is able to interact with these other applications in order to provide a web interface to access some features of these external applications and monitor their response. I can handle the Django side well, thanks to their awesome documentation, but I'm somewhat lost when it comes to the big picture. How would one go about establishing communication with other applications?

EDIT:

We also have some programs that aren't written in python, how would Django interact with these?

You need modify those python app you want to communicate. There are some tools can do process communication in linux:

signal

share memory

file(include tcp socket)

message queue

pipe

For python, you can use tcp socket do that, this should be most easy one I guess. But that still depend on what kind data you want to communication.
