can python be a "shell" of c++ program?

[James]

Yes you can, although it might be a fair bit of work depending on the
complexity of your codebase. Basically you would need to write Python
extensions to expose your C++ classes as Python modules, using SWIG or
the Python extension code in the Boost C++ libraries. You'd then embed
an interpreter in your program which would allow you to use Python
code within it - either from a script or individual commands.

It's a fairly common use of Python :)
