Execute other language from C++

[xhendos]

Dear C++ community;

Would it be possible to execute another language from cPlusPlus, for example a python-script?

Thanks anyway!

you can execute ASM, But besides that i think you need libraries. i may be wrong.

Yes you can embed python in c++:

Trivially, you can simply make a system call to execute a Python script.

If you want to be more clever, and actually have Python and C++ code calling each other within the same application, there's Boost.Python:
