[antlr-interest] Re: antlr outputting Python code: status?

I think that there is a better approach for this particular problem. 
I've been doing a fair amount of work lately interfacing the Python
runtime as the backend for a spacecraft modeling language and using
SWIG for interfacing C/C++ functions with Python.  It is easy to call
Python from C/C++ and vice versa.  C/C++ functions integrate nicely in
shared library form, and I think a better approach for the problem you
mention would be C++/Python hybrid approach.  The idea would be to
build a shared library/Python module from a C++-targeted antlr C
grammar with calls to Python from the tree walker.  That should give
you both the advantage of compiled C/C++ speed and Python flexibility.
