cppimport
cppimport
Introductioncppimport
is a python library used to connect to C++ extensions.
Here we use file somecode.cpp
and the Python interactive shell to demonstrate this:
#include <pybind11/pybind11.h>
namespace py = pybind11;
int square(int x) {
return x * x;
}
PYBIND11_MODULE(somecode, m){"square", &square);
m.def(
}/*
<%
setup_pybind11(cfg)
%>
*/
and run:
>>> import cppimport
>>> somecode = cppimport.imp("somecode")
>>> somecode.square(9)

We can even import the C++ code like normal Python library, by adding // cppimport
on the first line of C++ file. Then
>>> import cppimport.import_hook
>>> import somecode
>>> somecode.square(9)
