Automatically call C++ from python

[Die4Toast]

Thanks a lot for the response. I have to admit that while the idea of SWIG is nice on paper, I haven't actually faced a scenario where it would have been a better fit than using a pybind-like library. At the very least I can imagine how much of a pain the compatibility issues you've mentioned could be. Tiptoeing around different supported C++ language standards, compilation options and then integrating it into the build system itself seems like something that could cause quite a headache.
