So i began looking for some tutorial which would provide me with simple example of how i could compile python to compilable ".c" code. I found example in cython docs. Those examples weren't very helpful and weren't working. So here it is:
I presume that you have installed python and gcc already. So additionally youll need
sudo pip install cython
##Step two: Making your code compilable
As far as i know it is not possible to directly call your python function when compiling python code to c. You must expose some functions to be cython valid.
def What_did_one_snowman_say_to_the_other_snowman():
print "Smells like carrot !"
cdef public void hatch():
What_did_one_snowman_say_to_the_other_snowman()
lets save this into desmond.pyx file
next we need to create some main for our program:
#include <Python.h>
#include "desmond.h"
int main() {
Py_Initialize();
initdesmond(); //initializes your module
hatch(); //function call
Py_Finalize();
}
I think it's pretty clear what's going on here.
Now the most esential part
##Compiling
all: main
main: main.c
cython desmond.pyx
g++ -c desmond.c -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7/ -lpython2.7
g++ main.c -g -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7/ -lpython2.7 desmond.o
clean:
rm -rf *.o desmond.h desmond.c
this simple makefile allows you to compile all of this toghether, if you do not want compile it to be executable, just throw the last line g++ main.c -g -fPIC -I/usr/include/python2.7/ -lpython2.7 desmond.o
