I've been looking at SWIG a bit, and I think it would be really |
| 11 |
helpful for this stuff. That way, we might eventually be able to make |
| 12 |
it so that most portage stuff is also available from perl, and anyone |
| 13 |
who wants to access portage from perl may do so easily. (I know some |
| 14 |
of you may cringe at this, but I happen to like perl :) but don't |
| 15 |
worry, I like python equally... both have their uses) |
