[C++-sig] Advantages/Disadvantages

[Kevin Bélisle]

Hello,

I was wondering what were the advantages and disadvantages of using  
Boost.Python or SWIG as opposed to just working with the built-in  
features that allow the embedding/wrapping of C++ code into PYTHON  
projects.

Will using Boost.Python or SWIG make life easier while coding but  
result in a loss of performance at runtime and an increase in  
processing time?

Thanks,
Kevin
