boost-python

Here is a minimum working example of boos-python from the official web site.

First create a hello.cpp file and put this.

#include YOU HAVE TO INCLUDE boost/python.hpp within tag markers.

char const* greet()
{
   return "hello, world";
}


BOOST_PYTHON_MODULE(hello)
{
    using namespace boost::python;
    def("greet", greet);
}

Now compline .so file by doing the following.

g++ -g -shared -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7 hello.cpp -lpython2.7 -lboost_python -o hello.so

Open IPython and import hello
now call hello.greet()
