I believe there are some instances where folks have built Python into an embedded system (with an RTOS say VxWorks, Symbian, QNX Neutrino, Nucleus, etc...) where C++ is not always the easiest to develop in. Admittedly, though, these types of systems are by far a minority with respect to Python. Just thought I would mention it anyhow. -- Meador
