PyD status and tutorials

[Ellery Newcomer]

Hi.

Yes, the bitbucket repo is up to date (or was, a month ago. I've been a 
bit busy..).

It looks like you want to embed python into D, in which case the 
situation is better than the main page suggests. Pyd supports

* CPython - 2.4 through 3.2
* dmd 2.060+
* ldc {whatever is based on dmdfe 2.060+}

on linux.

Somehow I still haven't gotten around to building gdc yet, but 
supporting gdc for embedding python would just be a matter of updating 
the CeleriD configurations and ensuring everything links. Might as well 
do that tonight. Stay tuned.

Pyd is pretty reliable. I try to avoid making changes to the API, but 
there were a few when I implemented python3 support. There will probably 
be a few more when I tackle PyPy.
