C/C++

Due to the lack of ABI standard of C++ language, there is no portable way to use C++ library among different operating systems and platforms (Refer).

• Cython [C/C++]: popular and useful, consider this first
• ctypes [C]: lies in standard library and pretty easy to use
• CFFI [C]: popular and practical
• SWIG [C/C++]: not just focusing Python but TCL and other script languages
• Boost.Python [C/C++]: may require many knowledge on Python C library
