FEniCS is C++ library / Python package.

Yes. If you have installed FEniCS using your OS' package manager you
should be able to import FEniCS in Python using
  >>> from fenics import *
or more traditional
  >>> from dolfin import *

If you're writing C++ code you just include general
  #include <dolfin.h>
or other header files in FEniCS include dir for more fine-grained
control. C++ code is generated from UFL files by running FFC from shell
  $ ffc -ldolfin [options] MyForm.ufl

If you've installed FEniCS by different means, you need to setup your
environment following instructions the installer (e.g. dorsal)
provides. Then you can import FEniCS in Python or run FFC and include
DOLFIN as described above.
