Python is intriguing...

I share an office with Clinton who has lately become somewhat of a Python convert. Today I started to play with Python for the first time. Unlike "normal" people I didn't start with Python in Python... I started by embedding it within a Pascal program. Embedding Python within Pascal was really simple - I am totally amazed! With less than 20 lines of Pascal code you can embed a Python interpreter and have it load and run python modules.

The code for this will be placed on Google Code once I have it a little farther along.

Why am I doing this? We are looking at providing the ability to run Scripts within SwinGame, its looking like we should have something interesting soon!
