Yes. And also calling Vala code from Lua. Or Python.

Just to check if I'm on the right track:
- just to run some python from Vala I can use Frederik's code from above
- and to call Vala from Python, I have to, according:
http://docs.python.org/extending/embedding.html#extending-embedded-python
add to Frederik's code the definition of "Py_InitModule()", which in
turn needs "PyMethodDef()" and "PyObject()" and if I don't have to
return anything, that's all because PyMethodDef() could return NULL.

Is this correct, so far?

The trouble I'm having is to comprehend how to translate the
"Extending Embedded Python" to Vala since it is in C. But if I
understand correctly (from lua.vapi) it's just matter of adding the
definitions to Frederik's code.
