|1= I like Python as a language and use it all the time, but in an embedded context it is quite large and the GIL makes using multiple Python instances on parallel threads tricky. | |||

|1= 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. | |1= I wonder why a C++/subsystem integration of Python would be necessary.
