I need to open up Tally’s data through its ODBC interface so my custom‐built application can consume it in real time. The environment is a Windows Server box where Python already runs the rest of our stack, so the job centers on: • Establishing a reliable ODBC connection to the live Tally instance. • Demonstrating, with a small Python script, how to query key ledgers, vouchers and stock items and return them as clean data frames or JSON. • Explaining any Tally configuration tweaks (port settings, security controls) required to keep the connection stable after reboots. Once the proof-of-concept script shows consistent pulls, I’ll extend it myself; I simply need the connection layer solid and well documented. If you’ve previously bridged Tally to external software via ODBC, I’d love to see a quick outline of your approach and the tools you prefer.
