D - Python/D

Well, I've managed to port over 90% of the Python/C API to D so now you can
extend or embed python using D (the other 10% are threads, some unicode stuff
and several macros, but those'll be put in shortly).

Since D and Python appeal to the same kinds of programmers, this is great!

Well, I've gotten Python/D about as far as I'm going to take it. Threads,
Unicode, Frametrace, etc are all in there.  All it's missing are most of the
macros, but the majority of them seem to be merely there for backward
compatibility, so I don't feel like spending the enormous amount of time
required to implement them all.

If you find that a particular macro is missing (and it does more than simply
call a function already provided) or if I've missed or messed up anything,
please feel free to send me an email at D scratch-ware.net

Enjoy!

I'm curious, does there exist a C++ API to Python? I mean one that takes
advantage of features in C++ that aren't in C. I wonder how seamless it can
be from either D or C++.

There's one in Boost which has caused major headache to DMC and some 
other compilers. I can't remember exactly, i think the issues with DMC 
have been resolved now. I've never tried it though.

I don't imagine it would be that difficult to write a Python wrapper in D.  It's
been my experience that it's frequently more beneficial to write a new version
of a wrapper from scratch using D than to port it over from C++ as then you can
more readily utilize the features of D that make it worth doing in the first
place.

Also, as a side note, I realized that I had missed a few predefined variables
(such as Py_None and the predefined exception types like PyExc_IOError) so those
have been added.

There was an error in the object structure and the refcounting wasn't working
causing the Py_Finalize() function to give an access error.

This has been fixed and Python/D works flawlessly for both embedding and
extending (see the site for examples of both)
