That's great!  Did you know that Python can be imbedded inside your C++
program?  It very much possible.  Check out
www.python.org/doc/ext/ext.html for imformation on allowing python to use
C/C++ functions and vice versa.  Very interesting stuff.  I would be
interested in doing the actual imbedding of the python interpreter into
the C++ code.
