I am writing an application where I am coding all of my front-end and GUI with python library (wxpython specifically). For this application, I would like to write the model class with C and use python to use the compiled C code? How can this be implemented in python?
I know this is little vague question but I am struggling with the starting point.
If you're using CPython (the most popular version of Python), you'll need to learn the CPython C API. Other python implementations may or may not support C calls. You can also use the ctypes library which is easier to learn, but also more rigid and may not support everything you need.
You can try Cython, which is basically Python with embedded support for C types and calls (it goes through the CPython API).
You could strictly seperate design(python part) and code(c++ part) like this:
Write a complete c++ programm that works in the terminal/console and then make the python-application call these c++-terminal programm via os.Popen.
So if your programm is a calculator it does this:
(python gui) 5 + 5 -> my_c_programm.exe "5 + 5" -> (returns) 10 -> (python gui) display
that way you can use your programm with and without gui.
Its easier and faster than embedding Python in your c++ programm or extending Python with C++.
I basically do the same thing on my current project, but like this:
php: my webinterface python: for structure and logic and easy operation c++: for heavy calculations and where I need speed
so php -> python -> c++
and it works very well for me :)
