Boost.Python

Introduction

This is a partial list of projects using Boost.Python. If you are using Boost.Python as your Python/C++ binding solution, we'd be proud to list your project on this page. Just post a short description of your project and how Boost.Python helps you get the job done, and we'll add it to .

TSLib - Fortress Investment Group LLC

Fortress Investment Group has contracted Boost Consulting to develop core internal financial analysis tools in C++ and to prepare Python bindings for them using Boost.Python.

Tom Barket of Fortress writes:

We have a large C++ analytical library specialized for research in finance and economics, built for speed and mission critical stability. Yet Python offers us the flexibility to test out new ideas quickly and increase the productivity of our time versus working in C++. There are several key features which make Python stand out. Its elegance, stability, and breadth of resources on the web are all valuable, but the most important is its extensibility, due to its open source transparency. Boost.Python makes Python extensibility extremely simple and straightforward, yet preserves a great deal of power and control.

EMSolve

EMSolve is a provably stable, charge conserving, and energy conserving solver for Maxwell's equations.
 

OpenSceneGraph

Gideon May has created a set of bindings for OpenSceneGraph, a cross-platform C++/OpenGL library for the real-time visualization. You can read the release announcement at www.hypereyes.com. Contact Gideon for more information.
 

PythonMagick

PythonMagick binds the ImageMagick image manipulation library to Python.
 

OpenWBEM

The OpenWBEM project is an effort to develop an open-source implementation of Web Based Enterprise Management suitable for commercial and non-commercial application

Dan Nuffer writes:

I'm using Boost.Python to wrap the client API of OpenWBEM.This will make it easier to do rapid prototyping, testing, and scripting when developing management solutions that use WBEM.

CAMFR

CAMFR is a photonics and electromagnetics modelling tool. Python is used for computational steering.

Thanks for providing such a great tool!

HippoDraw - Stanford Linear Accelerator Center

HippoDraw is a data analysis environment consisting of a canvas upon which graphs such as histograms, scattter plots, etc, are prsented. It has a highly interactive GUI interface, but some things you need to do with scripts. HippoDraw can be run as Python extension module so that all the manipulation can be done from either Python or the GUI.

Don't have a web page for the project, but the organization's is http://www.slac.stanford.edu (the first web server site in America, I installed it).

Which was just too cool a piece of trivia to omit.
