Saying "most popular" I didn't mean _most fancy_. I meant that it is the
must,
the easiest first step. It is like gnuplot for graphics. Not "the best", but
almost
_any_ language has interface to gnuplot first, and then (probably) to
something
more impressive. Interface to Tcl/Tk gives *easy and fast to implement*
possibility
of cross platform development. Interface to wxWindows may looks much better,
but
not easy to have. Python has both (and some other). R (S-PLUS clone),
Octave,
many other have _only_ Tcl/Tk (for now).

So, you consider OLAP as an engine you may use with _any_ car
(=application).
It is not a familiar point to me. To me OLAP is a car itself. An application
ready to go
on the decision making road. I probably misunderstand something. May you
describe
(in brief) in what kind of Python application you'd like to put in OLAP part
written in A+?
