Extension Building

Comments

  • Extension building is a complex topic.
  • Differences between platforms extremely problematic.
  • Large C libraries can be a challenge.
  • Complex C++ libraries can be an even greater challenge.
  • I have only given a small taste (it's an entirely different tutorial)

Resources

  • Extension building API documentation (www.python.org)
  • The CXX extension (cxx.sourceforge.net)
