pythonesque constructs for c++

[Josh]

One of the best features of python is its ease of use, and the ease of use 
of its modules. Modules like os, os.path, and datetime are invaluable!

Does anyone know of analagous c++ libraries? It seems to me that most of the 
functionality of these modules could easily be replicated in c++. Before I 
go about doing that, I was just wondering if anyone knows if they already 
exist?

thanks,
Josh
