I got partway through using SWIG for client wrappers, but I haven't
had time to actually run them yet.  Soon I hope.  The more interesting
part is to have a Tuxedo server that registers services and fires off
python code to execute the services.  You have to start a Python
interpreter and call it from C.  It seems fully documented, and not
too much more complicated than doing the same thing from TCL.

You are right.  It did cause problems in a multi-threaded environment.
I'll refrain from recounting my HP/UX horror story here...

The current documentation says that the current version (7.1) is thread
safe.  I have yet to test this out.  Soon, I hope.

You can download a copy for Linux from www.bea.com if anyone is interested.
