This will work. pyplusplus has all functionality to do it. You can
take a look on
pyplusplus unittests. This is almost exactly what you want.

There is one big minus - such solution will complicate product delivery.
0. different os and environments
1. good compiler
2. boost.python
3. gccxml
4. pygccxml + pyplusplus
5. scons or other build system, or you will have to generate makefiles
6. your product

It is going to be nightmare :-).

May be you should study Python bindings for boost.graph library.
Or to create all possible or very useful template instantiations and to export
them?
