#28812 — Compile python code into a dll

Hi,

I have Python code that I would like to compile into a dll (I have to 
deliver a C/C++ callable dll and I don't want to reimpelement the Python 
code in C/C++). It's not for extending Python but I want to call the 
Python functions and classes from C/C++. It's more like extending C/C++ 
with Python. I would be very appreciative for any help.

Thank you in advance

Regards
Rolf

http://docs.python.org/extending/embedding.html is the official docs for this thing
Embedding is similar to extending.

See http://docs.python.org/extending/embedding.html. You can pack your code in a zip file and load it from the DLL entry point (something like what py2exe does).

See also the Freeze tool - http://wiki.python.org/moin/Freeze.

Cython compiles CPython to C which can be compiled by and c/c++ 
compiler. I believe it can do the above. "This makes Cython the ideal 
language for wrapping external C libraries, embedding CPython into 
existing applications, ". I think the latter is what you want to do.

Thank you all for your help. I'm going to try Cython.
