C++ and boost::python

Question

Can I embed python into my app using only boost:python? Will I need any additional libraries to bring with my app?

Or is there any embeddable language which natively supports unicode chars and does not need any libraries to bring with app

Answer 1

To integrate Python in a C++ application you can use Boost.Python but you can also interface the Python C API directly.

For both you need the Python library, for Boost.Python approach you also need to link to the Boost.Python library.
