Boost.Python or SWIG or PyBindGen #4

Closed czgdp1807 closed 4 years ago

Description of the problem

I was just exploring options to generate Python wrappers for C++ code and came across PyBindGen . SWIG is fine but I think PyBindGen is more logical to use. What do you say?

I was going through the Boost.Python as well and I believe that this is much better than both of the above alternatives due to the greatest amount of content available on the web.

Example of the problem

So, at the end of the day, I think we can go for Boost.Python. An ad-hoc method to generate the bindings is as follows,

g++ -I /usr/include/python2.7 -fpic -c -o file_name.o file_name.cpp
g++ -o file_name.so -shared file_name.o -lboost_python -lpython2.7

A note, We will be required to create shared objects for python bindings using nvcc which can be done by commands similar to the following,

nvcc -I /usr/include/python2.7 -Xcompiler -fpic -c -o file_name.o file_name.cu
nvcc -o file_name.so -shared file_name.o -lboost_python -lpython2.7
