IDL support is available for both Python and Perl.  That is, you can
take your IDL specs and generate scripting-language support for the
types and interfacees specified in that IDL.  With systems like ILU, you
can do the same sort of thing that SWIG does -- link your C (or other
language) code with your Python, glued together automatically by code
generated by ILU from your IDL.  There's an example of doing this in the
examples/multlang directory of the ILU source release.

More ILU info at ftp://ftp.parc.xerox.com/pub/ilu/ilu.html.
