Yeah, but there's a difference between passing your GUI incantations
on to a library function (written in C but now just part of a binary
library) and feeding them to a completely different language
interpreter. When I write something with PyGTK, I can't, even in
theory, give it arbitrary C code to execute. From what I understand
here, that *is* true of Tcl, which means that the Python download
contains a Python interpreter and a Tcl interpreter. I'm not saying
that's a bad thing to do, but it is calculated to provoke remark.
