[Python-Dev] Python for embedding?

[Python-Dev] Python for embedding?"Knut A. Wikström" knut at wikstrom.dk

Python is a great language. We all know. But I have tried implementing 
Python into C/C++ applications, and have a) had a lot of trouble getting 
it running properly and b) it is slow, compared to other languages, like 
LUA.

What is my idea, is to make a Python implementation made to be embedded 
into applications.. It will have these features:
a) Small footprint.
b) Easy-to-use, but still advanced API.
c) Stackless.
d) A smaller standard library.
e) Fast.

The smaller footprint is, so that it will use minimal resources 
possible, leaving more for the underlying application.
The API is the most important thing, really, as this distro will be made 
for embedding. It will not have any compiler features, just an interpreter.
Stackless Python is - as we know - faster than Python. Another good 
reason to use it in embedding.
A lot of the standard library is seldom used; we only need the core 
functions.
Fast, of course! It needs to be the fastest interpreter ever written (at 
least fast).

Hope you have any ideas/comments!
