Boost.Python was specifically designed to address your needs
(www.boost.org/libs/python/doc/). If you need help getting started, please
direct further questions to the C++-sig:
http://www.python.org/sigs/c++-sig/.

P.S. I strongly recommend using the latest boost CVS state
(http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=7586) rather than the current release
version.
