Since you want to pass information from C++ to python you may want to take a look at Boost.Python[^], a C++ library which enables seamless interoperability between C++ and the Python programming language.

Excellent resource! I didn't even know about this... but I don't use Python... that's my excuse... Boost library has expanded so much over time! +5

CString is a c++ class that is rather specific to the MFC framework (and to ATL, for the nitpicks). Therefore, you cannot send a CString outside of MFC (not even to vanilla C++). Well, technically you can send it, but the recipient will not be able to make any sense out of it.

However, CString does have an AllocSysString()[^] member function that will allocate an automation compatible BSTR type string. The API copies the contents of your CString object into this BSTR and returns it.
