Python as the Keystone of Building and Testing C++ Applications

Discover how Python serves as the foundation for building and testing C++ applications in this 33-minute conference talk from EuroPython 2016. Explore Ableton's innovative approach to using Python scripts for simplifying workflows and improving software development processes. Learn about the design principles behind their top-level scripts, including "configure.py", "build.py", and "run.py", which facilitate the building and testing of C, C++, and Objective-C code. Gain insights into how this Python-based build system enhances developer productivity and code quality for complex projects like Ableton Live, Push, and Link. Apply these concepts to your own projects to streamline development and testing of multi-language applications.
