I've browsed the GiNaC site but can't find that claim about higher level
languages.  Still, it's a very interesting package.  It does depend on
CLN (for its arbitrary-precision numerics), so I guess that interfacing
it to Python would first require that CLN itself be thus interfaced (and
I wonder about the ability to use CLN with anything but gcc, which would
make interfacing to Python a problem on platforms where gcc is not the
compiler used for Python itself).
