This repository is a proof-of-concept to demonstrate how you can create a Python Extension in 100% assembly.
Demonstrates:
- How to write a Python module in pure assembly
- How to write a function in pure assembly and call it from Python with Python objects
- How to call the C API to create a PyObject and parse PyTuple (arguments) into raw pointers
- How to pass data back into Python
- How to register a module from assembly
- How to create a method definition in assembly
- How to write back to the Python stack using the dynamic module loader
- How to package a NASM/Assembly Python extension with distutils
The simple proof-of-concept function takes 2 parameters,
>>> import pymult
>>> pymult.multiply(2, 4)
8
Just because it can be done.
Also, I want to see if some AVX/AVX2 instructions (high-performance matrix multiplication especially) can be used directly from Python.
