Linking C++ API with CherryPy

[Venkatesh]

Dear All,
I have a requirement in my project, where I need to some home-grown C+
+ source code from CherryPy framework. I would like to know whether
the cherrypy framework does support for C++ code integration. If it
does supports for C++ code integration, I would like to know how it
could be done. Could anyone please throw somelight on this problem?

Your valuable technical input is highly appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
Regards,
Venkatesh

CherryPy doesn't actually care about it. Just create a Python binding to
your C++ code (using sip, SWIG, boost, etc.) and import that binding
inside CherryPy.

The only aspect you have to be careful of is thread safety. CherryPy
heavily uses threads so depending on what your library does it may be a
problem or not.

Silvain is right.  You need to make a Python binding for your C++ module.

I've had good experiences using py++ to do this.
