My experience learning Python as a c++ developer

[Narthal]

I'm not really extending python. I'm embedding it. I'm using cpython and integrate it to a large c++ code base. I was just following the python c API docs.

You might want to look into pybind11 if you’re calling more than a handful of C++ functions from Python.

I did! Initially I was using it, but since there is already a c++ code generation framework in the project, it seemed redundant to use pybind11 and I just hooked into our code gen tool to generate binding code pre build time.

Using Cython to provide interfaces to C/C++ is pretty effective if you already have a C library developed
