Boost.Python is certainly a (good) way to do it ! I go as far as including a Python shell to allow two-way interactions with the objects loaded in the C++ GUI of my app ... Look at the tutorial, mostly here: http://www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/tutorial/doc/html/python/embedding.html To know how to use Python from a C++ application. But I warn you: it is much simpler the other way around, i.e. having a Python app' calling some C++ code to make some parts quicker (or call already existing libs).
