writing to a buffer (not only with python)

Hi

I don't like vim syntax for writing scripts (set let a: g:variable). I
choose to use python environment for writing things in vim.

However I've encountered some problems.

One:
I have access to buffers from vim python object. However I don't know if I
can add buffer via vim objects or if this object is only for accessing the
buffers.

I cannot inherit Vim object. That is why I created my own wrapper for vim
native functions (line, getline, setline). I do that by vim.eval() command.
The problem is that to write into a buffer I have to switch into other
buffer and then I have to call in a loop setline which can only write into
current buffer.

My Write function in python makes vim call by vim.eval() as following
:b1 (select buffer1)
getline(...)
setline(...)
setlocal(...)
:b4 (select previous buffer)

When I am writing a lot of data to the buffer it takes time. It is too long
for me to accept. The speed of execution is only determined by python
environment? Or I shouldn't be using eval function, or is there any way to
speed things up?
