Description

Ideally being able to pass a Python function to C++ as a C style function pointer to interface with a C based API, would be ideal, I have been looking this up but it seems that no one has managed to do this as of yet? I have been looking at trying somehow to convert std::function to the function pointer but this seems not possible. My apologies if there is a way to do this already.

Research direction

The issue proposes passing a Python function through C++ as a C-style function pointer for use with a C API. Start by reviewing pybind11's existing function and callback support; done would require a documented, tested way to expose such a callback, but the issue does not identify files or tests.
