[Tutor] Python to C++

Another alternative is Weave

But mixing C/C++ with Python sort of defeats the reasons for using
Python to begin with

If you have only few classes / member functions Boost-Python is a good
solution.

I heard that SWIG can also generate glue code for C++.

You could also look at Py-QT they have a tool like SWIG (SIP I think),
which they use to generate the glue code for the fairly big QT
library. Maybe you like it better.
