It usually doesn't happen to me.  In this particular case (a test of BGL
commands) no Redraw function was called in the script, so maybe a second
ALT+PKEY caused a redraw to happen in Blender.

(You should give it a chance, it's a great language).  Anyway, we'll
need simple scripts to test exp-python throughly.  I'll write some next
week, they'll probably be in "the docs" as examples, too.

It's working now, both Draw and BGL.  The functions in
blender/src/drawtext.c that called registered callbacks in Draw.c
weren't implemented.  A simple change and now it works.  I'm still
implementing other functions (basically copying from BPY_main.c) in
BPY_interface.c (finally doing what I was supposed to, Michel ;)) and on
Monday I'll commit the changes.

I'll take away the #ifndef __APPLE__ , since we need to test that and
you said it doesn't stop compilation.  Thanks for the info.

Good 2.27 launch for everyone : )!
