C and C++ languages are paramount of efficiency, and probably have the largest quota on the market, implementing the backbone of all of the existing computing infraestructure, including other programming languages. On the other hand, python is in rise, with its amazing simplicity is being adopted as the generic language for learning and many other tasks ranging from BigData and systems to web sites.
This talk will introduce how both languages can work together. It will explore different ways in which C and C++ libraries can be wrapped and used by python programs, but also how python code can be embedded and called from C and C++ applications.
Especial focus will be put on portability, how to handle different types of libraries, as static and dynamic libraries, and how the final result can be distributed.
The talk will provide simple and fully operational examples and demostrations, that can be useful as a starting point for the interested audience, and that will show how to get the best of both (C/C++ and python) worlds as a powerful programming environment for real use cases.
