I did not realize you actually married python and ocaml so closely. My inquiry was actually geared towards getting some sort of Mathematica-like front-end environment that could link to a computational "core" (or cores) running as separate processes. Are there any pooor man's frontends out there? I am aware of Texmacs and Sage. Texmacs strikes me a bit idiosyncratic, while Sage scares me in sheer size. I just want a nice little general-purpose frontend that can do an interactive loop and show pictures and math formulas as results. Andrej
