I'm not an engineer, but hopefully you don't mind if I give this one a shot. :)
Step 1, write your C++ code. Step 2, create bindings for Python For step 2, you can use any of these. - sip (from PyQt-land) - shiboken (from PySide-land) - Boost.Python - pybind11 - ... You compile it against the Python that ships with Maya, and viola, a regular importable library, like PyQt or PySide.
