Python interpreter - pass c++ arguments to python script

[luz-arreola]

Using 'embedded python', I can currently execute a python script:

C++ code:

std::string script = readFile("./cl/stencils/hello.py");
pybind11::scoped_interpreter guard{};
pybind11::exec(script);

The following python script file is properly executed:

hello.py

import json
x =  { "name":"John", "age":30, "city":"New York"}
print(json.dumps(x))

QUESTIONS:

1. How do I pass one or more arguments from my C++ application to be made available and used by the Python script?

2. How do I pass a std::vector from my C++ application to be made available to the Python script? For example:

std::vector<std::string> args = {"arg 1", "arg 2", "arg 3"};

Thank you!

Looking through the pybind11 docs and spending several hours learning some basic python, I can now pass arguments directly to a python script with pybind::dict.

I was really hoping to be able to do so using pybind::list which is somewhat similar to std::vector but found no way to refer to it from within inside the python script. The dict works just fine though.
