C/C++

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

• SWIG - generate extension module from your .h files

• boost.python - write (tiny) C++ class to wrap your classes in an extension module

• Pyrex - write your extension module on Python

• CXX

• SCXX

• weave - include C code lines in Python program

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

• 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

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

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