Hey guys,

I know the question which follows may not be the most suitable for a first
post, but I'll take my chances.

Since I'm not a big python fan (let's just say I prefer perl ;) ), I'm
writing a program that I want to interface with a python library (portage)
in perl.

I looked on cpan and found Python::Object, which (seems like) it will
allow me to do this. However, I did not manage to get it installed (cpan
shell/manually). Has/Can anybody tried/try to install/use it?
Just for reference, here are the last lines:

In file included from Object.xs:10:
../lang_lock.h:67: error: syntax error before "last_py_tstate"
../lang_lock.h:67: warning: data definition has no type or storage class
make: *** [Object.o] Error 1

Someone on google said it's an ithread problem, but it doesn't seem that
way, and I'd prefer not to recompile (especially since the ithread flag on
gentoo is marked "has some compatibility problems") perl just for this.

Maybe I'm looking at this the wrong way, and you (much more experienced)
people can provide a better solution.

Thanks in advance for your help,

- -Cos
