Writing a C++ extension for Python 2.7 with Visual Studio

In this video I demonstrate how to write and debug a C++ extension for Python, using Visual Studio 2010.

This demo supposes that Python 2.7 is installed in c:\python27

I also use TCC/LE which is a free, improved command shell by JPSoft. You can use a Windows Command Prompt instead.

Great tutorial by far the best ive found on this matter. I have just one question, will the functions written in c++ this way and called from a python program be executed at full c++ speed?

For debugging Python extensions, have a look at this:

Hey Michael, good tutorial. I have a doubt, after checking the directories till spam/debug in command prompt you use python, to run interpreter, but i'm not able to do that in command prompt. It says python is not recognised etc. Any solution?? Thx
