Yes, there are several libraries for these things in C/C++. But since
I find Python a much better programming language than C++ I'd like to
use Python. I realize that I then might have to wrap an existing
library. But that may be a rather big job, especially wrapping a C++
library, so if anyone has done this already I'd be very happy. :-)


TTFN,
