Thank you for working with them. Adobe's never been terribly easy
to work with, ime, so your effort is greatly appreciated. I still
think they could make a good deal of money selling Framemaker, etc.
even if they were free software (especially by bundling fonts),
but... And then there are the patent issues in the graphics software.
sigh...
- This might be useful for someone who finds SWIGs allowable parameter

Are you aware of cxx.sourceforge.net? It's a very nice package to
help integrate C++ and Python. I'm not sure if it applies directly,
but it may be worth a look.
- I said the license is liberal because I'm happy it turned out that way ...
The license is very nice indeed. I'm shocked Adobe did something
like that.
- I wrote the plug-ins for the Adobe products because I wanted them.
That's perfectly fair. I just wanted people to know that there are
free alternatives that could use the help. Sketch is particularly
interesting; it's written in Python. So you not only get the
benefits of working in a nice language, you also get the benefits
of working with free software.
- What really worries me is the wrangling over the Python license ...
Yes, that bothers me, too. I don't want to have to think about the
license, and the current one allows that.
