[Python-au] thoughts on Python as an embedded language?

[Grant McDonald]

If you are serious about embedding python a far better solution would be
either of the following programs:

For C programs use Pyrex:

http://www.cosc.canterbury.ac.nz/~greg/python/Pyrex/

download the program and look at the embedding samples.

For C++ programs use Boost.Python (especially if you are using classes):

http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/index.html

Here is a tutorial on embedding using Boost.Python

I've been on this list for a month or two and I think this is the
first message I've received from it. I'm new to Python and get most of
my info from the Python general list at
http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list. So if you have no
luck here, check there?

I just did a quick search on it and found the following in response to
a similar question:

"From Rick Ratzel 	

Have you checked out elmer?

http://elmer.sourceforge.net

It generates the code needed to embed a Python module into a C
application."

Not sure if it's right for you, but perhaps a start.

Cheers,

Will
