PYTHON EXTENsION

Usually, there are two ways to make python extension.

wrapper the Python C API directly
make use of boost.python

HOw to make use of boost.python

Download the boost package from boost site
Compile boost.python

1.sh bootstrap.sh(generate the bjam)

2../bjam --toolset=gcc --with-python link=shared threading=multi variant=realease runtime-link=shared stage

./bjam --toolset=gcc --with-python link=shared threading=mulit variant=debug runtime-link=shared stage

OK, the boost_python.so is generated successfully
coding your codes with c/c++.
compile your boost.python extension project so that python could import&execute it.

BY the way

Now, we have finished the coding and we need to compile the boost.python extension project.

There are many build tools& ways to build projects.

use gcc/g++ command to compile in cmd
write the makefile
cmake(good tool)
scons( better tool)

What is scons

SCONS is next generation building tool. It is written by python. So, I introduce it to you.

Please see the example.

Why we use python c/c++ EXTENSION

1. performance

2.lazy
