I'll leave the emacs discussion to you and Alex, and will only comment on the 
embedding issue.  I hope you guys can make progress on better integrating 
Alex's work into the mainline for emacs python support.

Re embedding: keep in mind that ipython also has an easy 'embeddable' mode:

http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/node9.html

While I've only used this from pure python code, I've had user reports of 
successfully calling it from embedded C code.  This might be useful to you (I 
can't say for sure without knowing the details of your setup and needs).  Let 
me know if you need any help with this.

Regards,

Fernando.
