PyBindTest 0.0.2

A minimal example package with pybind11

scikit_build_example

CI	status
conda.recipe
pip builds

An example project built with pybind11 and scikit-build-core. Python 3.7+ (see older commits for older versions of Python using scikit-build (classic)).

Installation

• Clone this repository
• pip install ./scikit_build_example

Test call

import scikit_build_example

scikit_build_example.add(1, 2)

Files

This example has several files that are a good idea, but aren't strictly necessary. The necessary files are:

• pyproject.toml: The Python project file
• CMakeLists.txt: The CMake configuration file
• src/main.cpp: The source file for the C++ build
• src/scikit_build_example/__init__.py: The Python portion of the module. The root of the module needs to be <package_name>, src/<package_name>, or python/<package_name> to be auto-discovered.

These files are also expected and highly recommended:

• .gitignore: Git's ignore list, also used by scikit-build-core to select files for the SDist
• README.md: The source for the PyPI description
• LICENSE: The license file

There are also several completely optional directories:

• .github: configuration for Dependabot and GitHub Actions
• conda.recipe: Example recipe. Normally you should submit projects to conda-forge instead of building them yourself, but this is useful for testing the example.
• docs/: Documentation
• tests/: Tests go here

And some optional files:

• .pre-commit-config.yaml: Configuration for the fantastic static-check runner pre-commit.
• noxfile.py: Configuration for the nox task runner, which helps make setup easier for contributors.

This is a simplified version of the recommendations in the Scientific-Python Development Guide, which is a highly recommended read for anyone interested in Python package development (Scientific or not). The guide also has a cookiecutter that includes scikit-build-core and pybind11 as a backend choice.

CI Examples

There are examples for CI in .github/workflows. A simple way to produces binary "wheels" for all platforms is illustrated in the "wheels.yml" file, using cibuildwheel.
