Calling python from a c++ program for distribution

by

I would like to call python script files from my c++ program.

This means that you want to embed Python in your C++ application. As mentioned in Embedding Python in Another Application:

Embedding Python is similar to
extending it, but not quite. The
difference is that when you extend
Python, the main program of the
application is still the Python
interpreter, while if you embed
Python, the main program may have
nothing to do with Python — instead,
some parts of the application
occasionally call the Python
interpreter to run some Python code.

I suggest that you first go through Embedding Python in Another Application. Then refer the following examples

  1. Embedding Python in C/C++: Part I

  2. Embedding Python in C/C++: Part II

  3. Embedding Python in Multi-Threaded C/C++ Applications
