%cpp magic inside Python notebook

[pushnyakov]

Is it possible to use c++ inside a Python kernel? Something like https://root.cern.ch/notebooks/HowTos/HowTo_ROOT-Notebooks.html#python

[SylvainCorlay]

I think that it would be an interesting feature. I don't think that it would be too hard to do.

Or, conversely, would it be possible to use %%python in a notebook with C++ (cling) kernel?

Any update on the development state of this feature?

I want to work on this feature but really have no idea where to start. Any pointers?

PS - Am currently poking around trying to figure out where to start.

I think you can use allthekernels. It's not really a magic, but the result is quite the same: you can execute C++ code in a Notebook where cells are considered as Python code by default.

AllTheKernels works with Xues, and python/ruby/javascript, but doesn't appear to work with BeakerX (for the whole JVM family). Thanks for the tip, to!

I do want to at least try to work this into XC, but I'm not even sure where to start in on reading the code here. Can anyone give me a brief developer's overview?

@JohanMabille @tadeu @rangerscience I am unable to run python code in the cell using %%python I have followed all the steps given in readme of repo can you guide me out.

My c++ code is working all well in the jupyter file but in the same file my python code is not running do you have any good resources?
