cmake-build-extension is a Setuptools extension to build and package
|
|
CMake projects.
|
|
|
|
This project aims to simplify the integration of C++ projects based on
|
|
CMake with Python packaging tools. CMake provides out-of-the-box
|
|
support to either SWIG and pybind11, that are two among the most used
|
|
projects to create Python bindings from C++ sources.
|
|
|
|
If you have any experience with these hybrid projects, you know the
|
|
challenges to make packaging right! This project takes inspiration
|
|
from pre-existing examples (pybind/cmake_example, among many others)
|
|
and provides a simple, flexible, and reusable setuptools extension
|
|
with the following features:
|
|
|
|
* Bridge between CMake projects and Python packaging.
|
|
* Configure and build the CMake project from setup.py.
|
|
* Install the CMake project in the resulting Python package.
|
|
* Allow passing custom CMake options.
|
|
* Allow creating a top-level __init__.py.
|
|
* Expose C++ executables to the Python environment.
|
|
* Provide a context manager to import reliably CPython modules on
|
|
all major OSs.
|
|
* Disable the C++ extension in editable installations (requiring to
|
|
manually call CMake to install the C++ project).
