General

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
Proton	Proton is a library to provide Python-like interfaces for C++11, which try to make porting from Python to C++11 easier, and make programming in C++11 more convenient :)

Large Integer Arithmetic

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
NTL	A high-performance, portable C++ library providing data structures and algorithms for manipulating signed, arbitrary length integers, and for vectors, matrices, and polynomials over the integers and over finite fields.
GNU MPFR	MPFR's computation is both efficient and has a well-defined semantics: the functions are completely specified on all the possible operands and the results do not depend on the platform. This is done by copying the ideas from the ANSI/IEEE-754 standard for fixed-precision floating-point arithmetic (correct rounding and exceptions, in particular).
MPIR	A highly optimised library for bignum arithmetic forked from the GMP bignum library. It is written in assembly language and C.
TomsFastMath	A fast public domain, open source, large integer arithmetic library written in portable ISO C.
bigint-library	In this version, integer is restricted to be non-negative.

Itertools

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
CPPItertools	Implementation of python itertools and builtin iteration functions for C++17

Range

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
boost::irange	for (int i : boost::irange(5, 10)) { is the same is a for i in range(5, 10):; for (int i : boost::irange(1, 10, 2)) { is the same is a for i in range(1, 10, 2):.
C++ Range	Python-like range iterators for C++
range-v3	Range library for C++14/17/20, basis for C++20's std::ranges

Slice

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
boost::adaptors::slice	boost::adaptors::slice(RandomAccessRange, 1, 4) is the same is a python_sequence[1: 4]. Where RandomAccessRange is a string, vector, etc.
boost::adaptors::sliced	RandomAccessRange | boost::adaptors::sliced(1, 4) is the same is a python_sequence[1: 4]. Where RandomAccessRange is a string, vector, etc.
array_view	auto sub_av = av.slice(/*position*/ 2, /*length*/ 2);
boost::adaptors::copy	auto newValue = boost::adaptors::slice(RandomAccessRange, 1, 4) is the same is a new_value = copy.copy(python_sequence[1: 4]). Where RandomAccessRange is a string, vector, etc.
boost::adaptors::copied	auto newValue = RandomAccessRange | boost::adaptors::copied(1, 4) is the same is a new_value = copy.copy(python_sequence[1: 4]). Where RandomAccessRange is a string, vector, etc.

Iteration

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
boost::adaptors::index	The index within each returned boost::range::index_value is equal to start_index + the offset of the element from the beginning of the range. In the versions of the functions that omit start_index the starting index is taken to be 0.
boost::adaptors::indexed	The index within each returned boost::range::index_value is equal to start_index + the offset of the element from the beginning of the range. In the versions of the functions that omit start_index the starting index is taken to be 0.
C++ Python-like-Iterators	Using modern C++ and templates, provides a function enumerate that easily returns key-value pairs as seen in the Python programming language.
nrr_enumerate	Python-like 'enumerate' for C++

Dict Iteration

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
boost::adaptors::keys	for (const auto & key : boost::adaptors::keys(map)) { is the same is a for key in python_dict.keys():.
boost::adaptors::map_keys	for (const auto & key : map | boost::adaptors::map_keys) { is the same is a for key in python_dict.keys():.
boost::adaptors::values	for (const auto & value : boost::adaptors::values(map)) { is the same is a for key in python_dict.values():.
boost::adaptors::map_values	for (const auto & value : map | boost::adaptors::map_values) { is the same is a for key in python_dict.values():.

Size

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
boost::size	boost::size(SinglePassRange) is the same is a len(python_sequence). Where SinglePassRange is a string, vector, etc.

Strings

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
Python Strings for C++	Python-like string class for use in C++

OS

Library	Description	Standard	Platforms	hpp	License	Quality	Docs	Stars
boost::filesystem	The Boost.Filesystem library provides facilities to manipulate files and directories, and the paths that identify them.
KFS	A Python-like filesystem API for C++
