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..

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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.
