Google embedding python.  First link is a good place to start --
http://docs.python.org/ext/ext.html -- the official docs for extending
and embedding python.  Extending python is when you want to write or
wrap some library, typically C, C++ or FORTRAN, and expose its
functionality to python.  Embedding python is when you want to use the
python interpreter in your own program.  Start with the official docs
mentioned above, and then check out SWIG and boost::python.
