My intent is to use Scheme tools to develop Python programs, and to use Python libraries in a Scheme environment.

I've already started on a project to compile Python into PLT Scheme. It should not be so hard to port it to R5RS or PLT+Guile. See http://spyweb.hopto.org for the current status.

Scott Owens at Utah University wrote the front-end for the Python to PLT Scheme compiler using his parser generator library. Again, I don't think the dependencies on PLT-specific Scheme are too deep. I hope we can collaborate. Regards, Daniel Silva _______________________________________________ Guile-user mailing list Guile-user@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/guile-user
