ya there is a pyinline also, if your curious.
http://pyinline.sourceforge.net/

On that pyrex page I linked to they mentioned it. They say that it's nice, but it only converts basic types and you can't use it to make new python types. Maybe RubyInline is better.

Both of them are based off of the Perl inline concept, of course.

Yes, you are absolutely correct. It seems to me that WRT to Python and Ruby, if it is interesting and worth doing, it has already been done in Perl :-)

RubyInline only auto-converts basic types - From their webpage: Automatic conversion between ruby and C basic types: char, unsigned, unsigned int, char *, int, long, unsigned long
