I'm currently using boost-python to wrap a small C++ library and make it usable from Python. However, I'd like to stop using boost (mainly due to reasons relating to building/linking). So what other options are there?

Is there something that's equally convenient to use?

    You'd probably be better off opening a new question about your building/linking problems. boost::python is pretty nice. Commented Jun 23, 2010 at 20:35
  • No, because my building/linking problem is well know: it's bloody difficult to find out what arguments to pass to the compiler/linker, because boost doesn't have something like pkg-config. Commented Jun 24, 2010 at 8:24

There's Riverbank's SIP, Beazley's Swig, and Scott's/Dubois'/Furnish's Cxx. See also this page with other potentially relevant projects (but no direct answer to your immediate needs, I believe).

Take a look at SWIG.

Cython's syntax is very Pythonic, breaking the rules only where necessary.

Yep, but it doesn't do C++ -- in my answers, I listed only projects that do (SIP and Cxx are C++ only, SWIG supports multiple languages).
@Alex: Then how come the page at the link I gave exists?
There are people saying that Cython does C++ well in 0.13, but the latest release is 0.12.1 :( The main question however is whether I can easily use a library, written in Cython, from Python (CPython).
