compiling python and calling it from C/C++

[Russ]

Is it possible to compile python code into a library (on unix), then
link to it and call it from C/C++? If so, where can I learn how.
Thanks.

You can't compile python, but what you can do is create a
library-wrapping around it using elmer which will make it C-callable.

This looks promising. Thanks.
