Why don't we just offer a Python interpreter as an
extension module which allows to run Python scripts?
Simple objects like strings, lists and tuples could
be converted for parameterisation, and a way to call
an arbitrary Python function could not be that complicated.
Then you can provide wrappers for almost all of the
library stuff and build "your" library in very small
time, maybe adjusting the user interface to the
functions already in a prothonic way.
Then, piece by piece, the modules can be translated
and improved.
On the other hand, I'd even consider to keep them as
they are, because you get the maintenance of these
modules for free.
