Hello Torsten, > I'd like to use Python as an extension language for a C++ program. > I.e., the user starts my program and gives a python script, either > by file name or via stdin. The python script triggers a couple of > function calls within the C++ program, and afterwards my program > exits. > > I already know how to do that in principle. My only concern is > distributing the thing, especially for the Windows platform. Is it > possible to create a bundle of my program and a light-weight Python > interpreter, so that installation is easy and disk usage relatively > small? The Python scripts are not supposed to import modules after > all, at least not explicitly. See http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/moin.cgi/ShippingEmbedded
