Running C ++ code from python

I want to execute the helloword.cpp code, which takes some argument from the console, parses those arguments, and then prints "hello world" in the console.

Now I want to parse these arguments from python scripts parsearguments.py

So for example:

def parse_arguments:
  ...# some code
  return arguments

Now, how do I communicate between python and C ++. I read and see that cython, boost python are options, but it's hard for me to find the right simple greeting example.

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
