Dear Gotfried and Kish, sorry for not seeing this earlier. There is another Python interface to ECLiPSe (and other deductive engines) I've implemented some time ago, and is part of SPADE: http://code.google.com/p/spade2/ It's not a real interface, since it uses pexpect to interact with the ECLiPSe console. Here you can find it: http://code.google.com/p/spade2/source/browse/trunk/spade/pyxf.py Hope this helps. All the best, M. On Wed, Nov 21, 2012 at 3:03 PM, Gottfried F.
