Integrating the input events into the current event system totally makes
sense to me. That's definitely the way to go - why having one event
system for the game and another one for the input? There are a few
things that we should keep in mind however:

-Remember that the inputs have no sense in the case of a dedicated
server. In the case of a pure client, game events will never be
launched. Therefore there should still be a kind of independence between
the input and game events, even though I agree they should work with the
same mechanism.

-How about trying to have a more flexible callbacks system? I mean,
making Python callbacks involves using a different callback class.
Couldn't we have a callback class that we can assign a C++ or Python
callback, at will? That's be much easier to integrate them in the game
IMO. But once again, Python might not be needed everywhere. Unless we
decide that Python is a part of the core Adonthell and keep the callback
mechanism in the base module (which makes sense as well).
