Well, SKILL (a Franz Lisp derivative) is very old and has some peculiar design quirks. Interfacing with anything not written by Cadence or not written in SKILL is painful, at best. Interestingly, Python is being used as an extension language for the OpenAccess database. LSI Logic had a Python wrapper for 2.0 (it looked like they used SWIG). I had written one for 2.1, but never was able to release it before my company was acquired by Cadence (and that project quashed). There is some interest... just not quite critical mass. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
