[Edu-sig] PythonScript

[Edu-sig] Working interactively with IDE (refreshing script; namespace updating) | Re: [Edu-sig] PythonScript
What not a PythonScript variant?

VPython is itself all C.  

Its purpose is to expose some functionality
to Python scripting, but it is not Python
itself.

Wouldn't a relatively small sub-set of 
Python functions accommodate the needs
of this kinds of project.  And since
it is geared for a specific constituency
and use, things like case insensitivity,
simplified numerics, etc. become "cost
effective" - clearer benefits, less cost to
others.

A real light weight distro with limited library
support, but a clear and simple C extension
API.  

What am I missing.

Undoubtedly something.
