An example pybind11 module built with a
CMake-based build system. This is useful for C++ codebases that have an
existing CMake project structure. This is being replaced by
scikit_build_example
, which uses
scikit-build-core, which is designed to allow Python
packages to be driven from CMake without depending on setuptools. The approach here has
some trade-offs not present in a pure setuptools build (see
python_example
) or scikit-build-core. Python 3.7+ required;
see the commit history for older versions of Python.
Problems vs. scikit-build-core based example:
Just clone this repository and pip install. Note the --recursive
option which is
needed for the pybind11 submodule:
git clone --recursive https://github.com/pybind/cmake_example.git
pip install ./cmake_example
With the setup.py
file included in this example, the pip install
command will
invoke CMake and build the pybind11 module as specified in CMakeLists.txt
.
Documentation for the example project is generated using Sphinx. Sphinx has the ability to automatically inspect the signatures and documentation strings in the extension module to generate beautiful documentation in a variety formats. The following command generates HTML-based reference documentation; for other formats please refer to the Sphinx manual:
cd cmake_example/docs
make html
