Re: how can I add an scripting language to my application ?

["Sean Middleditch" <sean middleditch Iname com>]

I'd recommend Lua over Python for purposes of embedded scripting.  It's
faster, lighter, and can do most things Python can.  However, if you REALLY
need all the power you can get out of a scripting lanuage, at cost of speed
and ease of embeddability (new word, I know), then Python is the best there
is.
