Extending and Embedding Python

Extending

Python extensions are generally written in C/C++ using the Python/C API to implement functions and data types that can be called from the Python interpreter.

Embedding

Python embedding occurs when the Python interpreter is a subtask of a larger application. Note that embedded Python can also be extended.
