I have a libfoo.so library built from C++ code (compiled with gcc), and I would like to quickly test some of its exported classes (basically, instantiating a class then calling its methods to check the output).

While I could do that in C/C++ with a main file that links to the library in question and build my tests, but I think it would be much easier if it was possible to simply call Python from the command line and call the methods from there.

I know I can use CDLL from ctypes to load C-style libraries, but is there a similar functionality for C++ libraries and objects?

EDIT : Ideally, I do not want to modify the C++ code, I would need to use it as-is.

    I agree with Chris answer. However, I want to point out that Cython supports C++ (with some limitations).
