My first impression of Py++ is that it generates stuff for Boost.Python to use to connect Python to C++. To get it going I also need to introduce GCC, and probably Cygwin. That seems like a lot of layers. Does this not make for a complicated system, with a lot to learn?
I'm looking for small, simple tools. Feel free to persuade me on Py++, if you still think it's the way to go.
