In the lisp world, we never imagined to be able to force people to adapt their libraries to our needs and requimenets. We have FFI, and we try very hard to work with all sort of random That said, given that the requirements of lisp and of python are > A set of work around techniques will always be Ie. being part of the problem. > needed.
