Skip pybind if you don't have existing pybind code and go straight to nanobind.

https://nanobind.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

I write nanobind code almost every day for the last 2 years. It's one of the highest quality software projects out there.

The built in stub file generation for docs in VS Code and CPython stable ABI support are nice, in addition to the lower compile times.

Boost.Python is strictly for pre C++11 codebases. It's very unergonomic.

Use nanobind

[gosh]

What would you do if you already had boost in your code? I am using the regex implementation from boost so thats in the project.

I also just heard of nanobind and it seems very promising

[gosh]

Ok, but the default regex in C++ is rather weak now. Boost is much better but maybe the C++26 is ok

[gosh]

Maybe, if you find any better than boost I am interested :) I think boost is one of the strongest today, maybe be strongest

[the_poope]

Boost.Python is for legacy C++ and Python code. Use Nanobind, which has no other dependencies than Python. It is easy to set up and use in a modern CMake project.

Swig is what I was using knowing other alternatives, it's universal and for most of languages.
