taction

This package was generated by pyxt to facilitate easy developments of C++ extesions (Pybind11) for Python. All the boilerplate around CMake and compilation has been handled for you.

The basics

The package name is taction. The compiled extension is named _taction_ext.

You can access the extension using taction.ext which is an alias for taction.lib._taction_ext where the extension is stored.

Installing the package

The package can be installed as normal using:

pip install .

Code

All code in located in the src directory. The directory structure follows the conventions for their respective languages. Python code lives under src/taction. C++ code is placed src/taction-ext/src and src/taction-ext/include/taction.

Adding C++ functions

If you are adding a C++ function you have to follow these steps:

1. write implementation, e.g. add in src/taction-ext/src/main.cpp
2. write a binding function, e.g. bind_add in src/taction-ext/src/main.cpp
3. add the signatures to the corresponding header file, e.g. add and bind_add in src/taction-ext/include/taction/main.hpp
4. add a call to the binding function, e.g. as bind_add in src/taction-ext/src/bindings.cpp
5. re-install package

See Pybind11 docs for details on their package. You can set the build-type in the pyproject.toml.
