RELEASED: Pymacs 0.21

[François Pinard]

Hello to everybody, and Emacs users in the Python community.

A Pymacs flaw has been discovered by Marco Gidde, by which opaque Python
references are returned back to Python from Lisp with extra cruft in the
communication protocol.  I'm even surprised that this problem never hit me
yet.  I suggest that current Pymacs users upgrade to this new 0.21 version.

--------------------

Pymacs is a powerful tool which, once started from Emacs, allows both-way
communication between Emacs Lisp and Python.  Pymacs aims Python as an
extension language for Emacs rather than the other way around, and this
assymetry is reflected in some design choices.  Within Emacs Lisp code, one
may load and use Python modules.  Python functions may themselves use Emacs
services, and handle Emacs Lisp objects kept in Emacs Lisp space.
