PYTHON AND C++

[satish k.chimakurthi]

Hello all,

I am trying to specify an SIDL (Scientific Interface Definition Language) 
interface to a sophisticated C++ code that I use in my project. I intend to 
run the code from the python scripting environment. I am trying to use a 
software by name BABEL (http://www.llnl.gov/CASC/components/babel.html)
to generate interfaces for libraries or components specified in the SIDL 
files.

My ultimate intention is to access the C++ code from python. I have looked 
into automatic and semi-automatic interface generators like SWIG, 
BOOST.PYTHON and ended up doing nothing useful and so adopted BABEL

Can someone advise me if my approach is the right one ?? Did someone do the 
same kind of stuff and thinks that there is an easier way ?? 


Thanks for your time and help in advance,

With Best Regards,
SATISH
