      It is possible to embed python in a C or C++ application, enabling you to call
      python functions from C. I would recommend reading "Extending and Embedding the
      Python Interpreter" at http://docs.python.org/ext/ext.html for more
      information. If you are currently using Visual C++ 6.0, either stick with
      Python 2.3 or read this: http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/mstoolkit/ to
      learn how to build extensions for python 2.4 with the free VC++ toolkit
      compiler. If you are already using version 7 of the Microsoft C++ compiler then
      you should have no problems with Python 2.4.

      I usually do not embed the interpreter, but I have written some extension
      modules... well, I should say I have used SWIG (http://www.swig.org/) to create
      wrappers around some C libraries. For information (read: rants) on extending
      versus embedding see http://twistedmatrix.com/users/glyph/rant/extendit.html
      and http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?EmbedVsExtend .

      You can also use win32 python extensions to make your module available through
      COM, but I don't know anything about that.

          Thanks Chris..
          I was also advised to build the python core (pythoncore.vcp roj) with my
          C++ program. By that way I would not have to load the python core
          anymore during runtime. Is this a good approach?
          I am currently using VC++ 7 and python 2.4.

              I'm not sure... I'm not very familiar with PC builds.
