http://boost.org/ has a module called Boost.Python that allows the use of Python
scripting in a C++ application.  LUA might be better to use, however.

You are right about that.

One other engine you might look into is http://Panda3d.org .  It doesn't use SDL
but has been ported to several platforms.  It uses Python and/or C++ as its
scripting language.
