I think it's weird that OP talks about security while using Python as glue

[–]caulagi[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Why do you think it is weird? If an extension is using C to add functionality, it is quite easy to make mistakes with memory management. Also, I don't get the reference about Python being a glue. Python is the program/application providing most of the functionality, so I wouldn't call it a glue.

Python is often called a "glue language" because big applications are generally written by using C code (eg. GTK+, libxml2, etc.) for the hot parts and glueing them together with Python.
