Do you want to write a C++ application, and allow your users to write
scripts in Python, possibly exposing some objects from you application?

Yes: read the "Extending and Embedding" document, specially the "Embedding
part" (last)
<http://docs.python.org/extending/index.html>

No: please explain in more detail what you want to do.

Thanks for the fast reply Gabriel,
Basically I have some python scripts to do some document processing,
all in command line tho.
I want to have an C++ application so that my scripts can run in dialogs
(API).
I saw a post before using c# to run python scripts within the c# main.
I am willing to run my python scripts within c++.
Thanks.

So you want to execute a Python script, in a different process, as if you
typed the command line?
That's not different to executing any other external program in C# - in
fact is a C# question, no Python involved. Try something like this:

Process p = new Process();
p.StartInfo.FileName = "path\to\python.exe";
p.StartInfo.Arguments = "path\to\your\script.py other arguments";
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
p.Close()

There are other properties you may want to use, like
RedirectStandardOutput; see the C# documentation.

Thanks so much. I'll give it a try
