[section Examples]
|
|
The following example demonstrates the use of import to access a function in python, and later call it from within C++.
|
|
``
|
|
#include <iostream>
|
|
#include <string>
|
|
|
|
using namespace boost::python;
|
|
|
|
void print_python_version()
|
|
{
|
|
// Load the sys module.
|
|
object sys = import("sys");
|
|
|
|
// Extract the python version.
|
|
std::string version = extract<std::string>(sys.attr("version"));
|
|
std::cout << version << std::endl;
|
|
}
|
|
