https://bitbucket.org/ariovistus/pyd

it seems not to be compiling with the 2.058 front end, but I think it 
should with the 2.057 front end and ldc.

python headers are updated to support 2.5 thru 2.7, though I only tested 
with 2.7

good luck!

crumb, I take that back

Anyone know why following code gives

test.d(5): Error: f.fn() is not an lvalue



import std.traits;
template _py(Dg){
     Dg func(){
         F f = new F();
         return &f.fn!(ReturnType!Dg);
     }
}

class F{
     Tr fn(Tr, T ...)(T t){
     }
}

void main(){
     alias _py!(void delegate()) tz;
}

Because like the error says, it's not an lvalue. fn returns a Tr, not a ref 
Tr. It's a temporary. And you can't take the address of a temporary.

Even worse, it looks like Tr is actually void, because fn is being passed 
ReturnType!Dg, and the delegate passed in is void. So, fn returns void, and 
then func tries to take the address of a void return value, which makes no 
sense.

3 (4 but for a segfault during shutdown) out of the 5 examples compile 
with 2.058 and run!
