Integrate python scripts in c++ app -

i need extend c++ app python scripts i'm unsure interface library should use. basic communication is: c++ app registers class methods script (so loaded module in script), calls specific function in python script. script should perform task while being able call c++ methods. when script has finished, c++ app should able use return value of script (e.g. std::list).

from i've read boost.python pretty powerful , considering fact use boost, seems way go. in documentation, have not seen way expose class methods (static or not) python script.

is possible? how can that?

edit:

ok, think should have been little more specific, sorry. know how import python libraries etc. c++ code , i've taken boost documentation regarding embedding didn't got looking for.

for clarity, workflow in scenario:

1. c++ app starts running
2. at point, c++ class needs support specific python script located somewhere @ defined plugin-location on hard disk.
3. before calling script, c++ class wants expose of methods script callbacks (the script should able call methods time, i.e. when script has finished execution , gets invoked place in c++ app, should not able call class methods anymore. also, don't want expose whole class script - specific methods , script should not able create instances of class. furthermore, don't want other python scripts able call exposed methods, 1 i'm going call.)
4. after "registering" class methods script, c++ app calls needed function in script , gets return value c++ type (e.g. std::list)

i think third point tricky part here , i've no idea how can achieve this...

is possible?

absolutely, yes.

how can that?

in general sense,

import python libraries with:

boost::python::object obj = boost::python::import("module_name"); 

access library objects , subobjects , functions with:

obj.attr("name"); 

that should enough going - further, details in the documentation.

(example:)

auto calendar = boost::python::import( "calendar" ); auto leap = calendar.attr("isleap")("2015");
