Are you familiar with building C/C++ libraries or even object files?

I know C/C++, I am not able to do everything but I think that I can compile
a simple programm with object files and libraries

Yes I would prefer to use Python as much as possible.
What do you mean about using Python to work with it? How do you usually do?


I've no experience of Anaconda but it looks like it might be hard to find
