Swig

We can use Swig to develop Python modules. For a detailed introduction, please see: Python Modules with Swig

Cython

We can also use Cython to build Python modules.

src

example.pyx

xmake.lua

Lua xmake.lua

add_rules("mode.debug", "mode.release")
add_requires("python 3.x")

target("example")
    add_rules("python.cython")
    add_files("src/*.pyx")
    add_packages("python")

PyBind

We can also use pybind11 to build python modules.

example.cpp

xmake.lua

Lua xmake.lua

add_rules("mode.release", "mode.debug")
add_requires("pybind11")

target("example")
    add_rules("python.module")
    add_files("src/*.cpp")
    add_packages("pybind11")
    set_languages("c++11")

Python Module

We can also use the C-API interface provided by the Python Library to build Python modules directly.
