Use Python with Arbortext Editor

You can use Python with Epic today using either AOM (through Jython) or via the Python COM support under Windows. We did this in 1999 for one of our projects.

It's not quite as convenient as just hacking up an ACL script, but it works pretty well (in fact, at the time we had a problem where we were trying to do something where used a C++ program first and it always crashed. When we moved it to Python it worked perfectly - something with how Python was interacting with COM API layer in the editor.
