Hi again.. well the pForth links page http://www.softsynth.com/forthlinks.html
led me to this:

Minotaur for Perl, Python, andTcl
Minotaur is an extension which can be used from Tcl, Python, or Perl to run
scripts in any of the other languages.
http://www.equi4.com/minotaur/minotaur.html

It turns out the author is Jean-Claude Wippler, of MetaKit fame. He has written
an intresting article on the need for low-level glue in scripting languages.
This is clearly the thinking behind the Minotaur experiment.

"""
MetaKit is an embeddable database which runs on Unix, Windows, Macintosh, and
other platforms. It lets you build applications which store their data
efficiently, in a portable way, and which will not need a complex runtime
installation. In terms of the data model, MetaKit takes the middle ground
between RDBMS, OODBMS, and flat-file databases - yet it is quite different from
each of them.
