Hello, I would like to know if there''s any util like swig for embending Python into C++. I´m new to python and it is a bit confusing all the things you have to do to call python objects, mantain reference count, etc..., any help pls? Thanks in advance, HexDump.

You can use SWIG or BOOST. Python's API is notoriously difficult.

But I have read several times swig doc and I only see that swig can produce glue code when extending not embedding :/. Sure I´m wrong, but I need someone to light my way here

Search through this forum for ''embed Python''. It''s been covered many, many times (including posts from me). Personally, I use Boost.Python, and I find it quite adequate, and reasonably fast.
