Hey.
I'm thinking about making some kind of thing that will allow me to
handle callbacks in either python or perl. Can you help me pick a
language? (to be clear: I'm planning to do something similar to Gimp:
the main program is written in C but can handle some events in perl.)
I was planning on using perl like the Gimp does... start a perl
"server" and send it stuff through a unix domain socket. This has the
important (to me) feature of being able to allocate and maintain state
information... such as database handles or a file parsing state for
example.
I'm thinking about using python instead though because I hear adding
callbacks in C to python handler code is relatively simple. (it's about
time I learned python anyway.) I don't know if a python state is
maintained for all callbacks though, which would be important.
Advice? Are there good materials I can read about handling GTK+ (C
generated) callbacks with scripting languages? Anyone have experience?
Thank a lot!
-Ben
