Just a simple experimental way to embed python in Vala

compile

valac python.vapi pyembtest.vala -X -I. -X -I/usr/include/python2.6 -X -lpython2.6 -o pyembtest

pyembtest.vala

using Python;

void main(string[] args) {
    Python.Initialize();
    Run.SimpleString("print 'hello from python!'"); //just an Hello World
    Python.Main(args); //your args for Python
    Python.Finalize();
}

python.vapi

/* python.vapi generated by me, modify it if you need ^^. */
