[C++-sig] embedded Python: Access an object defined previously in C++ (original) (raw)

Dear List,

I intend to execute a Python script from within a C++ program. I have already managed to embed Python and execute a simple program line.

Though, I have a complex data object in C++, which I don't want to serialize, write out to a file in order to read it in again. I would preferably like to define a Python object from within C++ and hand over this data structure directly.

Unfortunately the Python/C API Reference Manual doesn't offer any precise help. It is more like a manual for experts, not a guide to beginners like me...

So do you have any hint for me? Where can I get some more information? As said, I want to create a Python object in C++ and use it in Python afterwards.

Thanks in advance,

Markus
