Argh!
Thanks to sethbc for pointing out:
python
help()
portage
Now after looking at that I'm totally scared off writing Python code t
deal with it.
My previous Python experience was limited to setting up some C code I
have (http://mvs.sf.net/) to use Python configuration files and set up
scenes with Python scene descriptions
(http://cvs.sf.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/mvs/mvs/vis/starfishJK16spread.py?rev=1.2&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup)
that called back to C for everything.
I'm going to write some C++ or Java instead for what I want. Python
seems to lack the Sets and other sequence datatypes that would be
greatly useful.
