Lua is a nice, small, fast language that is great for many of my needs in extending Scite. I completely understand its benefits. However, after doing many cool things with Lua, I think it would be even more awesome if Python was embedded (not in the main build, because I understand that it is not as lightweight as Lua). Maybe even a subset of Python could be embedded without as many modules. I'm not sure of the scope of this project but I know it will be not be quick. I guess my question is how impossible this is :), and how to start. Is anyone else interested in this or willing to help? My main reasons for Python as an alternative to Lua are: Batteries included. More features. Easier to connect to os, work with files, strings. More maintainable IMHO. More of a mainstream language, reuse of previous code is possible. I know one can add extensions to Lua, but this isn't so convinient, and I'd like to be able to use Python code without porting it to Lua. (Or opening a python process via "python myscript.py"). -Ben
