As well as this group/list, you may find some useful help at the Gamedev.net Scripting Languages and Game Modifications forum: http://www.gamedev.net/community/forums/forum.asp?forum_id=41 Many people there have mixed Python and C++ code in the context of game applications and may have some good answers to your questions. After deciding how to expose C++ classes and functions to Python, the main problem you'll face, assuming you need the functionality, is how to yield control between Python and C++ when a Python action is long-running yet requires the C++ engine to be polled (eg. to handle input, AI, graphics, etc). Previous threads there will give you some hints on all these matters. -- Ben Sizer -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
