The challenging art of multi-paradigmatic application development, which only few languages currently support, greatly aids the development of highly efficient and reusable software components. A link of two such languages, namely Python and C++, is presented. Thereby data structures and algorithms realised in C++ using features such as compile-time meta-programming are made available to the run-time environment of Python. Several generic components and modules for application design in the area of scientific computing are presented. Compile times and run-times are discussed to show the advantages of the proposed combination of both languages. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
