Is there a python library to parse C++ code file?

Have you googled for "C++ parse python"? What results did you find?

C++ is notorious for being so complex that it is very difficult to parse
correctly. I believe that most so-called C++ parsers fail to parse it
correctly (obviously some do, otherwise there would be no working C++
compilers).

Perhaps SWIG may be able to help you? It claims to be able to export the
parse tree of the C++ code as XML, which you could then analyse in Python.
