My idea is to provide programmed control of the logs produced by the application. I *do not* want any interactive capabilities, nor do I want to provide any hooks to modify C++ data-structures: but primitives to display data, and an embedded interpreter that can call those primitives. I went through a number of options (Guile,TCL, Elk etc). I would like to hear if anyone has done anything of this sort before. Thanks a lot Ani [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

As far as I know Python ( htpp://www.python.org ) is used for something very similar with a huge success. At least that is what the Python people said. But just look at this page, and look for Los Alamos bla bla under Science: http://www.python.org/community/users.html IMHO Python is good for this job. Also (according to what I have seen/heard at the ACCU conference) it seems that the industry is really picking up Python. -- Attila aka WW [ See http://www.gotw.ca/resources/clcm.htm for info about ] [ comp.lang.c++.moderated.

Extending python nowadays is pretty straightforward. Esp with Boost::Python library.
