How to use C++ lib from python


I would like to know how to use python to make calls to a C++ library called libwpd to read word perfect files and build python objects from them, but I have no experience with C++ or calling C++ functions from python, and I don't understand how to figure out what the output of these library functions would be. So that's really two questions:

I looked into SWIG briefly, and it looks promising. Thoughts?


Solution

  • The Boost.Python library allows easy interoperability between C++ and Python.

    The tutorial shows how to wrap C++ functions and classes to use them from Python.
