Re: [Flightgear-devel] A FGPythonSys implementation: The embedded Python interpreter as a FlightGear subsystem.

Hi,

sorry for joining the discussion probably too late.

I wonder why a C++/subsystem integration of Python would be necessary.
I am successfully using JavaScript via nodejs for a private project with
FlightGear. Communication with FGFS runs via websocket and the
http/fgcommand interface. I don't miss a single feature and everything
works as one would expect. I would assume, the same technique would be
possible with Python or any other scripting language that supports
websockets, http-get, http-post and has some support for JSON (python has,
ruby has, lua has).

That being said, I don't see a benefit having a binary integration of
Python in the flightgear core. Using python to get/set properties and run
fg-commands is already possible without any c++ integration.

Kind regards,
Torsten
