I find pybind11 [1] to be perfect for my C++ code. There's so little boilerplate, and I get RAII-guaranteed memory safety and all the speed my C++ development can bring. For example, the binding of an accelerated HyperLogLog implementation only requires tiny amount of work, plus a line in my Makefile: PYBIND11_MODULE(_hll, m) { m.doc() = "pybind11-powered HyperLogLog"; // optional module docstring py::class_<hll_t> (m, "hll") .def(py::init<size_t>()) .def("clear", &hll_t::clear, "Clear all entries.") .def("resize", &hll_t::resize, "Change old size to a new size.") .def("sum", &hll_t::sum, "Add up results.") .def("report", &hll_t::report, "Emit estimated cardinality. Performs sum if not performed, but sum must be recalculated if further entries are added.") .def("add", &hll_t::add, "Add a (hashed) value to the sketch.") .def("addh_", &hll_t::addh, "Hash an integer value and then add that to the sketch."); } [1] https://github.com/pybind/pybind11 https://github.com/pybind/pybind11
