Embed Python in Xbase++??

How difficult/feasible would it be to embed Python in ALASKA's Xbase++
language (WIN32), so as to make the Python Dictionary and ImmutableTuple
types (we already have Lists - but we call them arrays) usable as
primitive classes in the Xbase++ language.
Xbase++ has the following types: string, date, numeric, logical, array,
codeblock, object-reference and NIL. Instances of these types would
need to be storable in the dictionaries and tuples, along with the
native Python types. There is a published API for interfacing with
these types from C.
Can anyone describe or direct me to examples of how this might best be
accomplished?
I would also consider hiring someone to have a go at this - (hope I'm
allowed to "call for quotes" in UseNet?? If so, and you're interested,
send me e-mail directly. If not, humblest apologies, and forget I
asked!! )
All suggestions welcomed.
