SWIG Or Boost -for Mapping C structures to Python

Question

I have requirement to map C Structures to Python. Any suggestion what will be the best approach to go for SWIG or Boost with least complexity.

Unless I'm mistaken, isn't Boost written in/for C++? – tonysdg Jul 07 '16 at 02:37 — tonysdg, Jul 07 '16 at 02:37
You confuse the two different languages C and C++! – too honest for this site Jul 07 '16 at 04:18 — too honest for this site, Jul 07 '16 at 04:18

If your structures are in pure C, then it's very easy with both methods. Or, you may consider ctypes, though my favorite is SWIG -- it automates things a lot.

Thanks, What you think about maintaining the code base if we go for SWIG as compared to Boost Python? – Hi... Jul 10 '16 at 09:12
