i guess that's the case, although i think the Verse people have 
demonstrated using their protocol to connect live Gimp and Blender .. not 
for scientific visualizations or astronomy, but 'just' working on textures
.. someone was figuring that python would be the way to build the bridge 
there too

yep - i guess in practice too, if it's a normal Python lib/modules 
(basically they all should work in bpython too)

quite nice, the image you showed -- thanks for sharing it & info

btw, the same functionality is exposed also to gimp-python, right?
not that Perl wouldn't seem to fill the purpose.

.. hm .. (wondered a little about gimp & blender scripts interacting)
