Just by analogy, what about implementing arrays as lists and structs as
dictionaries? Then the syntax would be quite similar yet not completely
identical.

# IDL - an array
# python - a list
a = [1,2,3,4]

# IDL - an array of structs
b = [{a:1, b:3},{a:3, b:4}]
# python - a list of dictionaries
b = [{"a":1, "b":3},{"a":3, "b":4}]

#IDL
c = b[0].a
#python
c = b[0]["a"]

Cheers,

Thomas
