How to include Python Modules in a D Program?

[Jon]

What would be higher level than this?

I was hoping for something that would be easy to use and allow me to include 
all the python modules. Is there an example of some kind for python module 
you linked? I just import that in my D program and then link to all the 
modules?

What would be the best course of action for this many modules? Maybe write a 
module in D that used that python module and all it does is wrap the python 
modules to cleaner code? I looked briefly at the PyD site, but they tend to 
have examples showing how to include D modules into Python. :( Did I miss 
something?

Thanks for replying and taking an interest in helping me. :)

Oh, by the way, I use GDC on Linux. It is the latest GDC version. I am also 
using Python v2.5.x
