Good points, I'd moved to python for embedding and shimming myself and then got bit cause SWIG had forced Cpython when there were other options later. I do still very much like the simple syntax though.

And somebody told me this trick with Tcl and I was like, "I'll just use it for this simple script and be done with it."
