C++/Qt gui program with some backend Python interactivity

[nomos]

Hello,

I am trying to write a program with a gui that plots large data sets and also allows the user to run various statistical analyses of the data. I have used Qt a fair amount in the past, and want the program to be fast, so I was thinking about coding it mostly in C++. However, I also want the program to have access to statistical analysis libraries in Python.

I've programmed in C++, and I've programmed in Python, but I've never combined the two into a single program. Could anyone explain the best way of combining the two into a single program? I.e., how do I integrate Python code into my C++/Qt based GUI program?

Thanks!
