sure is it is possible. you will have to write or automaticaly generate 
some simple glue code.

not having written extesions in C++ (only C) i can only give you some 
keywords for a search on google.com or groups.google.com:
Boost (http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/), Cxx (cxx.sourceforge.net), 
SWIG (www.swig.org)

and the Extending&Embedding manuals that whre installed on your HD along 
with the other python docs.
