[Tutor] Executing Python from TCL

[Karim]

Hello Alan,

I want to take benefit of xml.etree.ElementTree and 
xml.etree.CElementTree, which are very
good and do most of the job for me (create automatically database with 
lists and dictionary for me).
My point is to do a same API used by team developing with Python and 
another team developing in TCL. I want to facilitate the reuse and make 
everybody happy (no war between the 2 languages supporters) though for 
me Python is largely superior.

Anyway, you're right I found what I needed at:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/elmer/files/elmer/elmer1.1.5/elmer1.1.5.tar.gz/download

This is the open source Elmer distribution.

Thanks
Karim
