ANNOUNCE: Itclpython 0.2

[David Gravereaux]

Host a Python interpreter from Tcl:

http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=13244&release_id=39101

This is new and experimental, but appears to be working OK.  The standard
channels haven't been linked together, yet.  Unicode transfer from Python to Tcl
appears to be working...  This is actually an [Incr Tcl] extension using its OO
services.  Here's a screen shot of it in action:

D:\>tclsh84
% package require itclpython
0.2
% set i [python::interp #auto]
interp0
% $i exec {import sys}
% $i eval {sys.executable}
C:\PROGRA~1\Tcl\bin\tclsh84.exe
% catch {$i eval {eval("import random")}} err
1
% set err
  File "<string>", line 0, in ?
  File "<string>", line 1
    import random
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax (line 1)
% itcl::delete object $i
% exit


I don't know much Python, as I'm a newbie, and would appreciate people trying
this.
