How can I integrate C++ with Python?

You can use libraries like Boost.Python or pybind11 to create bindings between C++ and Python.

What are the advantages of using pybind11 over Boost.Python?

Pybind11 is generally easier to use and has a more modern C++11/14 syntax, making it more intuitive.

Can you provide a simple example of using pybind11?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>

int add(int a, int b) {
    return a + b;
}

PYBIND11_MODULE(example, m) {
    m.def("add", &add);
}

You can compile this and then import it in Python.

What tools do I need to compile a C++ project with pybind11?

You'll need a C++ compiler, CMake, and the pybind11 library installed. You can find installation instructions on the pybind11 GitHub page.
