example...i have this (short) Commands python:

#,,,,example:

import maya.cmds as mc

mc.polyCube() 

can C++ call my commands python?how????

Better just calling straight up mel commands from the c++ Api. Maya converts these wrapped python commands back to mel anyway.

example:

MGlobal::executeCommand( "polyCube -sx 10 -sy 15 -sz 5 -h 20;" );

I believe this is not strictly true... I think the python bindings are made to the underlying C++ core, not mel.  However, the underlying implication is that the MEL commands are faster... which may be the case. (The python interpreter may be slower than it's MEL counterpart... would be interesting to test that, actually.)  Assuming you're just using straight maya.mcds, though, I doubt the difference is enough to be very noticeable - I would say use which-ever language you're more comfortable with.

Oh, and the command to execute code in python basically mirrors the one for mel - MGlobal::executePythonCommand(...)
