Python as Glue Language

[Maurice LING]

Hi Everyone,

 From the documentations, it did mention that python is a good glue 
language. What does it really means by "glue language"? Does it means 
interfacing between modules of different languages? How does that work? 
Because it seems that only C is mentioned in the documentations and I'm 
not quite interested to program in C unless absolutely essential.

Thanks
Maurice
