As titled, I was currently asked to use c++ to finish my project, but I have already done it in python. So I would like to know if there is some easy way to translate python code to c++, given that paraview was written in c++.  
Just code that calls api in paraview.simple.

Alas, there isn’t an equivalent simple layer in C++. It would make sense to have such a layer and then wrapping it in Python, but that’s not the case at present.
