Hi Gabriele, I recommend either Alan's suggestion of running the C++ code as an external application (with e.g. subprocess) or using cython to connect the C++ code to Python. Which is appropriate depends on what you need to do and how much flexibility you need from within the Python code. I learned C and C++ before Python and consider myself reasonably proficient in all 3 languages and capable of understanding (dis-)assembly and linkage and so on and I still find ctypes to be a bit of handful (I have less experience of cffi). Using Cython or just compiling the C++ code with an external compiler is much better for the error checking and so on. Using ctypes you get very little error-checking, just seg faults and corruption.
