C++中用Boost::Python调用Python模块

这个过程有挺多坑，记录一下。我这里的环境：

Windows 11

Qt 6.2

Boost 1.8.4

CMake 3.25.2

Visual Stutio 2019（主要用于C++编译）

1、下载并将Boost编译为静态库

b2.exe toolset=msvc-14.2 install --prefix=boost安装路径 link=static

参考：

C++ Boost库在windows下的安装与使用 - 知乎 (zhihu.com)

2、CMake中使用静态库

set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON) add_compile_definitions(BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB)

参考：

Win10下CMakeList.txt配置使用Boost.python - 知乎 (zhihu.com)

3、Python程序

如下（foo.py）：

def greeting(s):print("Get the param in Python: ", s, " \n")return "Hello, I come from Pyhon world."

4、CMake程序

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.14)

project(PythonCaller LANGUAGES CXX)

set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)

set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 17)
set(CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD_REQUIRED ON)

set(Boost_USE_MULTITHREADED ON)
set(Boost_USE_STATIC_LIBS ON)
set(PYTHON_ROOT 编译boost时python的运行环境根路径）#例如：d:/dev/Anaconda3
add_compile_definitions(BOOST_PYTHON_STATIC_LIB)

set(PYTHON_INCLUDE ${PYTHON_ROOT}/include)
set(PYTHON_LIBRARIES ${PYTHON_ROOT}/libs/python38.lib)

add_definitions(-DBOOST_PYTHON_NO_ASSERT)

find_package(Boost REQUIRED COMPONENTS python system)

include_directories(${PYTHON_INCLUDE} ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS})

MESSAGE( STATUS "Boost_LIBRARIES = ${Boost_LIBRARIES}. ")
MESSAGE( STATUS "Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS = ${Boost_INCLUDE_DIRS}.")
MESSAGE( STATUS "Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS = ${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS}.")
MESSAGE( STATUS "Boost_PYTHON_LIBRARY = ${Boost_PYTHON_LIBRARY}.")

add_executable(PythonCaller main.cpp)

target_link_libraries(PythonCaller ${Boost_PYTHON_LIBRARY} ${PYTHON_LIBRARIES})

5、C++程序

#include <boost/python.hpp> // Boost.Python
#include <iostream>
#include <string>namespace py=boost::python;int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{Py_Initialize(); // 初始化 Python 解释器try{//导入模块 hello（hello.py）py::object hello = boost::python::import("foo");//获取属性（函数、类等）py::object greeting = hello.attr("greeting");//执行Python函数py::object py_res = greeting("Hello, I come from C++ world.");//转换并返回结果（使用 boost::python::extract 转换）std::string res = py::extract<std::string>(py_res);std::cout << "Get the result from python: " << res << std::endl;}catch (const boost::python::error_already_set&){PyErr_Print();return -1;}Py_Finalize(); // 终止 Python 解释器return 0;
}

要注意头文件包含顺序，把”#include <boost/python.hpp>“放在STL包含头文件之前，否则报错：
