How do I make a C++ program call Python functions?
I know how to do the opposite, where Python functions call C++ functions by using a DLL, can it be used for this as well?

You may want to read about the Boost Python library. It can be used to both call Python code, and to create Python modules.Some programmer dude– Some programmer dude2013-08-29 10:29:41 +00:00Commented Aug 29, 2013 at 10:29

so you want to use a faster language in which it is harder to do programming, to call a slower language in which it is easier to program (which internally calls the faster language if you use stuff like numpy) ? Can you explain a bit more in detail what you wish to do? I assume that some already implemented libraries are at the base of this problem? (I dont know much about C++, except that its faster than python but python is easier to program in, so i just wonder at the specific problem that your approach is useful)usethedeathstar– usethedeathstar2013-08-29 10:47:13 +00:00Commented Aug 29, 2013 at 10:47

1You are right, I want to be able to combine Python and C++ in this way. When I need high performance I can write it in C++ and do the hard work. But when high performance isn't important I could be more productive in Python. So I want to combine them and let them call each other back and forth.user2726067– user27260672013-08-29 10:51:18 +00:00Commented Aug 29, 2013 at 10:51

@user2726067: write your main code in python and try scipy.weave.blitz() ? (check the documentation of it to be sure that it does what you want, but i guess it shoud) also, if you reply to peoples comment, use "@ theirusername" (but without the space) so they see in theyr inbox that they got an answer ;-)usethedeathstar– usethedeathstar2013-08-29 11:19:55 +00:00Commented Aug 29, 2013 at 11:19
