[gdal-dev] How to wrap a C++ library using GDAL in a Python library?

[Paul Harwood]

I may have misunderstood but I think you are asking the wrong community.

You can take your own C++ library and make it available to a Python library
- see https://docs.python.org/3/extending/extending.html etc - but this is
not the community to ask for advice about that. You can, of course, access
GDAL in that c++ library using the c++ API but I don't think that doing so
would change how you expose the API from your library in Python ...

Perhaps you need to make your question more specific?
