[Bug-gnubg] Re: Changes in gnubgmodule.c

[Christian Anthon]

For reasons unknown it is not easy to start an interactive python
session from within a python script so I cooked something quick that
would at least partly emulate a session. Not too important I should
think, but if it turns out that it works reliably with the official
python we could improve on the session code.

I think vista will be ok since we are only reading from another dir,
not writing. But I'll test it.

Christian.
