Excellent idea. Like the saying "a picture is worth a thousand words",
so is an example or a demonstration. I think I understand now - many of
the people on this list are actually willing to use Python as a command
line shell interface. (I sometimes forget that Windows and GUI users
aren't steeped in [The Tao of Unix][1]).

I think that road is well traveled [2]. Considering what is available,
embedding a big complicated Python interpreter might actually be easier
than embedding a simple little Tcl interpreter.
