Hi Milind,

I don’t have personal experience doing this but I think what you’d need to do would look something like this:

1. Create a python module that calls the compiled C/C++ code, I don’t know how to do this but I know some python modules do this
2. Create a python keyword library that wraps the python module (you can use [robotframework-perfmon](https://github.com/damies13/robotframework-perfmon) that wraps [pyperfmon](https://github.com/damies13/pyperfmon) as an example of doing this)
3. use the keyword from you python keyword library

Hopefully that guides you in the right direction,

Dave.
