    can python be a "shell" of c++ program?

    Hi all

    I have some data to process, whith complex mechanism,I put these process
    mechanism as plugins.
    and design lots of classes to abstract data themselves.

    but the question is how to drive them work together.

    That cause too much jobs: I should write UI,parser...... almost a completed
    system.

    The problem is I don't know what these processed data will finally needed to
    display to user.
    maybe this , may be that, these can not know on design time.

    what I need is on outside of program,
    I can use some interface to get these data what I want , or push back data,
    or told program to recalculate it.


    can I have a way to drive c++ code use this script-like way ?


    thank you very much

      Yes you can, although it might be a fair bit of work depending on the
      complexity of your codebase. Basically you would need to write Python
      extensions to expose your C++ classes as Python modules, using SWIG or
      the Python extension code in the Boost C++ libraries. You'd then embed
      an interpreter in your program which would allow you to use Python
      code within it - either from a script or individual commands.

      It's a fairly common use of Python :)
