kscript: Python APIs that I would like to make available in Perl, but I cannot find anything

This is sth. I did occassionally. The key is Inline-Python
together with a python version that has its headers and libs in place.

After installing the python-dev stuff (headers, libs) and installing
the Inline-Python per cpan-script or by hand,
you can do the following:

 use strict;
 use warnings;

 say('Perl');
 
# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #

use Inline Python => <<'MONTY'

def say(stuff): 
   print 'python says: ' + stuff

MONTY

# - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - #
[download]

which prints here (Linux + Perl 5.8.8 + Py 2.5 + Inline::Python 0.22):

   python says: Perl

(with a trailing newline ;-)
