Hup... I better get me a newer version of python! Sorry :-)

Since Python is the first real OO prototyping language I have come
across I must ask the following:

In an OO prototyping language, OOPL (?), the natural language to
connect to wouldn't be C but C++. A OOPL object could then be a thin
wrapper around the C++ object and of course you would like to be able
to make C++ code access OOPL objects as well. Does anybody know of
some work in this direction? (Is it to weird to consider or is it in
Python already? :-))
