No. For example, I don't believe there's any way for standard C-Python to make system calls on Linux.

What sort of "function" are you talking about? As for calling functions in libraries, the library doesn't have to be in C/C++. Python can make library calls written in any language (Fortran, Ada, Pascal, etc.) as long as the language uses a supportted API. Python can also execute external programs. -- Grant -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
