Hi Bojan,

For the moment I still have reservations this approach for reasons  
mentioned previously.  But I welcome your interest and would like to  
keep options open.  AS mentioned I'm prototyping the use of SWIG, that  
project will include a build of QuantLibXL which retains the existing  
architecture, once that's ready would you be interested in adding to  
the prototype a parallel build of QuantLibXL using Python as you  
suggest?  That would keep your idea on the table and we could decide  
later how to proceed.

Regards,
Eric
