WIP testing for integrating Python 3 into Skyrim...write SKSE plugins in Python is the idea

This is a SKSE plugin that wraps CommonLibSSE and presents it to Python. The idea is to leverage the Python VM to the maximum capacity to enable average people, to write python scripts that interface with Skyrim.

Note: this was originally forked from : https://github.com/Ryan-rsm-McKenzie so thank you to Ryan for the setup of all the CMake files and the like

Requirements

• CMake
  • Add this to your PATH
• The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition
  • Add the environment variable Skyrim64Path to point to the root installation of your game directory (the one containing SkyrimSE.exe).
• Vcpkg
  • Add the environment variable VCPKG_ROOT with the value as the path to the folder containing vcpkg
• Visual Studio Community 2022
  • Desktop development with C++

Building

git clone https://github.com/wabbajack-tools/SkyrimPy
cd SkyrimPy
git submodule init
git submodule update
cmake --preset vs2022-windows
cmake --build build --config Release

Tips

• Set COPY_OUTPUT to ON to automatically copy the built dll to the game directory, i.e. cmake --preset vs2022-windows -DCOPY_OUTPUT=ON
• Build the package target to automatically build and zip up your dll in a ready-to-distribute format.
