c/c++ and python

[Mattia Adami]

Hi to all!
I have a little problem. I want to develop an application in c/c++ that
creates a window with gtk+ accordinly to the information on a xml file.
The funcions that are called for manage the event should be written in
python. I don't know how to do it, can you help me? Is it possible?
Thanks a lot!

Yes, it is possible. Most likely, you will have to embed a Python
interpreter in your app. Have a look at the Extending&Embedding section of
the Python manual.

As an alternative, you can use your C++ code as an extension of Python (a
module). Again, have a look at the Extending&Embedding section of the
Python manual.

BTW: are you aware of the existence of PyGTK and wxPython?

Thanks a lot, very clear and usefull anser!

Yes, I know PyGTK and wxPython, but I want to develop a plugin for
another application that requires c++. I guess that embedding is the
appropriate way.

Thanks.
