As it happens, I've had to substantially reorder the plan of writing 
Tn because I realised I needed i/o points working (and hence data 
streams) before I could do the UI. After all, a UI is rendered data 
just like a rendered bitmap.

Anyway, I'd imagine I'll get the above and possibly data linking done 
before the end of summer and the start of my new degree. Therefore my 
need for a full pyste drops substantially off till at least after 
Christmas, probably Spring 2005. In other words, no rush!

Perhaps a good third way is to make pyste an optional extension to 
scons whereby scons will auto convert pyste files into C++ files. You 
needn't use scons to use pyste in this fashion, but it's easier.

Cheers,
