Re: Py Programming Language
Apologies if this appears more than once; my prior response seems to have
vanished into the ether...

Yes. There are even pre-compiled versions of Py available.

Yes, Py includes PI (Py Include), which will create wrappers so that
Euphoria libraries can be compiled into the Py language.
Wrapping something like Win32Lib is a bit tricky, since you have to replace
the call_proc() and call_func() routines int Win32Lib with calls to Py
instead, but it's not that much more work. The end of the Py documentation
has a discussion of how that can be done with a library which,
unfortunately, is no longer include with Py. I'll try to get a Win32 version
released soon, which includes a patched version of Win32Lib.
I wouldn't recommend running te=he Win32 version of Py, however. The console
I/O is frustratingly slow.
> Is Py much slower than Euphoria...??
Relative to Euphoria (which it is written in), Py is slow. That doesn't mean
that Py is slow, as much as it means that Euphoria is fast!
The compiled version of Py is considerably faster than the interpreted
version. Unfortunately, there seems to be a problem with get_key() that
causes it to lock up intermittantly. I'm looking forward to the next release
of EC.
