I would like to do the same thing. However, my application will be
|
|
written in Python and translated to C or C++ as necessary. I just
|
|
wanted to point out that you will be executing actual code not unlike
|
|
the VBA macros in Microsoft Word with this technique. The Melissa
|
|
virus was written in VBA in a Word document. If there is a way to
|
|
sandbox such code, I would love to hear how because it is very useful
|
|
to be able to just recycle the Python interpreter for reading
|
|
configuration information.
