I’m working on a C++ application (on Windows, using Visual Studio) that requires astronomical computations such as coordinate transformations, time conversions, and ephemeris handling. These features are well-supported by the Python library Astropy, which I would like to use in my C++ code. What is the best way to integrate Astropy into a C++ application? Some constraints and preferences: I’d prefer not to reimplement all the functionality in C++ if Astropy already provides it. Performance is not critical, but maintainability and ease of use are important The final application should be as self-contained as possible (e.g., shipping with Python embedded if needed). Has anyone successfully used Astropy from C++ and can share a minimal working example or advice? Continue reading...
