Is there any way to call C++ function from Python?

Question

I'm new to Python. Is there a way to use C++ libraries while coding in Python?

What technique should be used to perform this task?

Here is an exhaustive documentation covering how to call C++ functions - https://docs.python.org/2/extending/extending.html — hellboy, Apr 01 '14 at 05:37

In addition, you can use one the various c++ to python wrapping libraries out there, like swig or boost.python. Depending on the complexity and "size" of the c++ library, this might be the more efficient solution.
