I want to use the nltk libraries in c++.
Is there a glue language/mechanism I can use to do this?
Reason: I havent done any serious programming in c++ for a while and want to revise NLP concepts at the same time.
Thanks

One of the lesser-known yet incredibly powerful features of Python is its ability to call functions and libraries defined in compiled languages such as C or C++.
Extending Python with C or C++ It is quite easy to add new built-in modules to Python, if you know how to program in C. Such extension modules can do two things that can't be done directly in Python: they can implement new built-in object types, and they can call C library functions and system calls.
Python code can make calls directly into C modules. Those C modules can be either generic C libraries or libraries built specifically to work with Python. Cython generates the second kind of module: C libraries that talk to Python's internals, and that can be bundled with existing Python code.
Python library; which has this capability. This library is mainly used to expose C++ to Python, but can be used the other way around.
You can also try the Boost.Python library; which has this capability. This library is mainly used to expose C++ to Python, but can be used the other way around.

Although calling c++ libs from python is more normal - you can call a python module from c++ by bascially calling the python intepreter and have it execute the python source. This is called embedding
Alternatively the boost.python library makes it very easy.
