title: Is there a C/C++ API for python pandas?
body: <p>I'm extracting mass data from a legacy backend system using C/C++ and move it to Python using <code>distutils</code>. After obtaining the data in Python, I put it into a pandas DataFrame object for data analysis. Now I want to go faster and would like to avoid the second step. </p>
  
  <p>Is there a C/C++ API for pandas to create a DataFrame in C/C++, add my C/C++ data and pass it to Python? I'm thinking of something that is similar to numpy C API.</p>
  
  <p>I already thougth of creating numpy array objects in C as a workaround but i'm heavily using timeseries data and would love to have the TimeSeries and date_range objects as well.</p>
