I am coding a small Python module composed of two parts: some functions defining a public interface, an implementation class used by the above functions, but which is not meaningful outside the module. At first, I decided to "hide" this implementation class by defining it inside the function using it, but this hampers readability and...
I'm thinking about using Python as an embedded scripting language in a hobby project written in C++. I would not like to depend on separately installed Python distribution. Python documentation seems to be quite clear about general usage, but I couldn't find a clear answer to this. Is it feasible to deploy a Python interpreter + standar...

So I'm starting a project using Python after spending a significant amount of time in static land. I've seen some projects that make "interfaces" which are really just classes without any implementations. Before, I'd scoff at the idea and ignore that section of those projects. But now, I'm beginning to warm up to the idea. Just so we...
