What is your C++ *language* question, again? For general inquiries
about software development, consider 'comp.software-eng' newsgroup.

Check out Boost Python, for one:

http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_40_0/libs/python/doc/index.html

and C++/Perl integration with XS for another:

An interesting question. More a general software design question however.
For the most universal appeal I recommend you write a protocol and publish
that first. A protocol will be available to any developer or any platform.
Then develop a C API on top of that - for convenience. A C api is the most
universally useful. Any other API, then you need to write that in the
language/tool you want to support I guess.
