There a various tools which make it easier to bridge the gap between Python and C/C++:


 * [[Pyrex|Pyrex]] - write your extension module on Python (!)
 * [[http://cython.org/|Cython]] -- Cython -- an improved version of Pyrex
 * [[http://cxx.sourceforge.net/|CXX]] - PyCXX - helper lib for writing Python extensions in C++
 * [[http://starship.python.net/crew/gmcm/scxx.html|SCXX]]
 * [[http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes/|ctypes]] is a Python module allowing to create and manipulate C data types in Python. These can then be passed to C-functions loaded from dynamic link libraries.
 * [[elmer|elmer]] - compile and run python code from C, as if it was written in C
 * [[http://www.picklingtools.com/|PicklingTools]] is a collection of libraries for exchanging Python Dictionaries between C++ and Python.
 * [[weave|weave]] - include C code lines in Python program
 * [[https://code.google.com/p/ackward/|ackward]] exposes parts of Python's standard library as idiomatic C++


=== C/C++ Binding Generators ===


Tools to make C/C++ functions/methods accessible from Python by generating binding (Python extension or module) from header files.


 * [[boost.python|boost.python]] - Expose C++ classes functions and objects to Python, and vice-versa, using just C++ compiler
 * [[https://github.com/orangeduck/PyAutoC|PyAutoC]] - Automatically wrap C functions and structs, using just C compiler.
 * [[http://pwig.sourceforge.net/|pwig]] is a SWIG extension for writting new language modules in Python.
 * [[http://code.google.com/p/pybindgen/|PyBindGen]] Python bindings code generator for pure C or C++ APIs. The generator is written in Python and has low complexity. The generated code is lean, efficient, and highly readable
 * [[http://developer.qt.nokia.com/wiki/Category:LanguageBindings::PySide::Shiboken|shiboken]] - Binding Generator used to create [[PySide|PySide]] Python bindings for Qt
 * [[SIP|SIP]] - similar to SWIG but specialised for Python and C++. Used to create [[PyQt|PyQt]], the [[Qt|Qt]] API wrapper library

C/C++

There a various tools which make it easier to bridge the gap between Python and C/C++:

  • Pyrex - write your extension module on Python (!)

  • Cython -- Cython -- an improved version of Pyrex

  • CXX - PyCXX - helper lib for writing Python extensions in C++

  • SCXX

  • ctypes is a Python module allowing to create and manipulate C data types in Python. These can then be passed to C-functions loaded from dynamic link libraries.

  • elmer - compile and run python code from C, as if it was written in C

  • PicklingTools is a collection of libraries for exchanging Python Dictionaries between C++ and Python.

  • weave - include C code lines in Python program

  • ackward exposes parts of Python's standard library as idiomatic C++

C/C++ Binding Generators

Tools to make C/C++ functions/methods accessible from Python by generating binding (Python extension or module) from header files.

  • boost.python - Expose C++ classes functions and objects to Python, and vice-versa, using just C++ compiler

  • PyAutoC - Automatically wrap C functions and structs, using just C compiler.

  • pwig is a SWIG extension for writting new language modules in Python.

  • PyBindGen Python bindings code generator for pure C or C++ APIs. The generator is written in Python and has low complexity. The generated code is lean, efficient, and highly readable

  • shiboken - Binding Generator used to create PySide Python bindings for Qt

  • SIP - similar to SWIG but specialised for Python and C++. Used to create PyQt, the Qt API wrapper library

  • SWIG - generate extension module from your .h files
