Adding python script to c++ project

Question

How would I go about adding a script written in python to a c++ project? Thanks

Edit: Basically all the script does is email some data. I would like to pass the data and maybe the email address to a function written in python. Hope that clears things up..

You're going to need to be more specific. Does the C++ program need to run the script? Get variables back from the script? Or are you just trying to translate it to c++? — rlbond

You could look at Boost.Python which is a "a C++ library which enables seamless interoperability between C++ and the Python programming language."

You have to be more specific, though.

You may be interested in Boost.Python: Embedding the Interpreter, or Python/C API: Embedding the Python Interpreter. You can either use the Python C APIs directly or use the Boost.Python library as you so choose. You might also be interested in reading Embedding Python in Your C Programs which walks you through it.

The most primitve solution would be to use the system command to call you script, but that does limit your control over it to setting environment variables and passing parameters.

system("myscript.py param1 param2")
