Ok, that sounds reasonable. > The lack of a C++/C library should not be a major issue. Python is > very well established in the fields that the library is likely to be > of most use (web, graphing, visualisation) I mentioned C++/C because I am interested in using it in my computer algebra system (http://www.aei.mpg.de/~peekas/cadabra), and its user interface is currently written in C++ using gtkmm. C++ is fairly widely spread in the scientific community too, in some fields much more than Python. Since the user base for a TeX typesetting library isn't particularly large (compared to other libraries), it's probably good to at least keep in mind that people might want to call this from a non-Python language (even though I will probably be tempted to convert my code to Python). In any case, having a Cairo backend will help.
