Run a C++ Program from Django Framework

Question

I need to run a C++ Program from Django Framework. In a sense, I get inputs from UI in views.py . Once I have these inputs, I need to process the input using my C++ program and use those results. Is it possible ?

Answer 1

Compile that C++ program to executable and call with subprocess module from python

Answer 2

You can use swig to create a C++ module that can be imported in python. An alternative is boost::python (but personnaly, I prefer swig).
