Well, like I said above, I haven't analyzed your posts for technical details, so I can't say whether you made avoidable mistakes. But I definitely do agree with you that it is roughly 100 times harder than it needs to be, to use Python from C++. The charter of this sig is to fix that, by developing the additional software that would allow Python's compiled interface to be exploited from C++ "with ease".

The first and most basic issue, is compiling Python so it initializes C++ global objects correctly. There is a patch on the sig's www site to help with that.

Any opinions from this esteemed body re: integrating said patch in the main tree? --david
