C++ Python bindings using two recursive algorithms, fibonnaci and factorial, as example.

C++ Python bindings

We implement two recursive algorithms, fibonnaci and factorial, in C++ and make Python bindings using pybind11, without even using CMake. We show here how we can use more than one C++ functions when we make Python bindings. The C++ functions are much faster than the Python implementations. We borrow some ideas from here.
