I am *very much* interested in that. I haven't played around with breve 
all that much yet, but I love it's idea, and I've wanted to do 
Atrificial Life with physics simulation in Python for a long time. I've 
also thought about using pyopenGL with pyODE or some similar setup, but 
that would require doing a lot of the great work Jon has already done in 
breve again.

For those who'd ask: why Python, a short advocacy rant. Afficionados of 
other languages may want to stop reading now ;)

I love Python for it's short, yet very clear syntax. It has been called 
executable pseudo code, and there is something to that statement. The 
fact that it is object oriented, and interfaces with other languages 
very well makes it a great scripting language for  other systems (like 
Breve) apart from being a very useable full-fledged programming language 
in its own right. It's easy to read, (even when you don't know python) 
easy to learn, and very fast to develop in. This is not to say that it 
is the best language for all purposes, nor to say that it is necessarily 
better than steve, or any other choice of scripting language for Breve, 
it would just make it easier for people who already know Python to use 
Breve, and that would be good for everybody.

cheers,

eric
