Now Python and IDL can talk to each other (okay, Python talks to IDL and IDL does what it's told), using pIDLy (pronounce as you please). I experimented with a few other solutions available online but couldn't get them to work. So I cobbled this one together with surprisingly little trouble, thanks largely to pexpect.
