You might want to check out PyDL: http://vingilot.org/pydl/
But if you took the source and started coding, I think you would
have a lot of work to do before it worked as well as GDL does. And
both of those are only a fraction of the way to an IDL clone, so
don't expect much.

For me it just requires 1 line and about 30 minutes:
% fink install gdl
I try to skip the coffee as the caffeine just makes me jumpy.

As for why its done the way it is done... Obviously I can't answer
for Marc. But sometimes I do projects on obscure hardware and OSes
or use strange development environments/languages just because thats
what I know, or thats what I want to learn, or thats what I feel
like.
