Embedding python

Hi, I wish to use Python as an embedded interpretor in a large C++
project. The reason for this is that I will be using threads and
since python already has the support built in it is a much better
choice than say, Perl or Lisp. However, the demo program for
embedding seems to be very vague and the documentation touches only
briefly on embedding Python in other langs. Has anyone out there done
some embedding or have/know of sample code that I could tinker with to
help me understand how to pass around complex data structures to/from
the Python interpreter. Thanks.
