There is a library for Python that enables the calling ability (can call functions in C++ format without extern "C". Please, could you remind me the name of the library? I forgot it's name and can't find it.

It's not Boost.Python.

Thank you very much. Your answer will be rewarded.

@s.zakharov: I am trying to do the same, any possible step by step tutorials to do so? I have just started using Python yesterday and am quite confused about accessing c++ functions via Python. I believe this page does have a good amount of information, but since you are already on the same topic, could you provide me with any links for a step by step tutorial? Cheers.

SWIG, Boost.Python, SIP, Shiboken, PyBindgen, ...

SWIG and Boost.Python are most popular, i.e. they have the largest user base and the most active development teams. Which of these two to use is largely a matter of taste. So if you don't want to use Boost.Python, then SWIG is the obvious choice.
