Hello, I am working on a project in VC++ 2010 and I have been looking at ways to integrate python into my programming. I want to be able to use python code within my C++ program so that I can do all of my graphical/engine commands in C++, really close to DarkGDK, with all of my little code (ie, NPC movements and other little scriptable things etc.) to be done in python.

What I want, if anyone is familiar with it, is something akin to what CCP have setup for EVE online. On that front i have been looking at things like Boost.Python/Py++, SWIG, pyBinGen and stackless python.

My problem is that all of the python->c++ things I look at all talk about puting C++ libraries/code into python for use from there, however I want my "host language" if you will to be c++ and just take in some python from there... is this possible or, with DarkGDK, would it be better to do it the suggested way?

So what I am asking is if it is possible to put python code into C++ to control an engine I make around DarkGDK, or should it be the other way around. also wich way would be best then i guess...

Sorry if i am a little muddled in my thoughts guys but thank you,

I haven't a clue about Python, but with some searching I found this article for you.

P.S. This is from a Linux journal, I hope it applies to a Windows environment as well.

it was a good start on the right track, article that has helped me most though is below, incase others end up looking for something similar in the future:
