I just checked out Boost (visited there before based on a pointer
by Scott Meyers, author of a book on the STL).  I wasn't quite
prepared to put the time into getting to know libraries at
that time, and I really needed to get to know basic standard
C++ library before delving into expansions of them, but the
example for the python interface looks very cool.  My current
use of a "P..." type scripting language, though, wouldn't be to
replace my matlab wrapper around C++ (the main engine until I
graduate).  It would be to mulch data to get it in a palatable
form for the engine code.  It's good to know about the python
interface, though, for future investigation.  Thanks.
