can python be a "shell" of c++ program?

Hi all

I have some data to process, whith complex mechanism,I put these process
mechanism as plugins.
and design lots of classes to abstract data themselves.

but the question is how to drive them work together.

That cause too much jobs: I should write UI,parser...... almost a completed
system.

The problem is I don't know what these processed data will finally needed to
display to user.
maybe this , may be that, these can not know on design time.

what I need is on outside of program,
I can use some interface to get these data what I want , or push back data,
or told program to recalculate it.
can I have a way to drive c++ code use this script-like way ?
thank you very much

Yes you can, although it might be a fair bit of work depending on the
complexity of your codebase. Basically you would need to write Python
extensions to expose your C++ classes as Python modules, using SWIG or
the Python extension code in the Boost C++ libraries. You'd then embed
an interpreter in your program which would allow you to use Python
code within it - either from a script or individual commands.

It's a fairly common use of Python :)

Hi, in an application I want to provide direct access to the python interpreter of the running program. I use rawinput() and exec() to read an input string and a self-made function to check wether the inputed block is closed and then execute it. When running python interactively the result of the previous statement is assigned to the variable "_" and commands like dir() just output their results to stdout.

Is their any way of setting wear the Python Shell window appears on the screen when I run my program? I am testing a full screen program with no Window Frame on a comp with 2 monitors and I have to keep pressing the <Window> Key to bring the Shell to the front and then moving it manually to the other screen every time I restart the program. I would like it to just appear on the other screen from the start.

Hi! I'm currently working on a scientific computation software built in python. What I want to implement is a Matlab style command window <-> workspace interaction.
