# python-caterva

Python wrapper for Caterva. Still on development.

## Clone repo and submodules

`sh git clone --recurse-submodules https://github.com/Blosc/python-caterva `

## Development workflow

### Install requirements

`sh pip install -r requirements.txt `

### Compile

`sh python setup.py build_ext --build-type=RelWithDebInfo `

### Run tests

`sh PYTHONPATH=. pytest `

### Run bench

`sh PYTHONPATH=. python bench/compare_getslice.py `

### Installing

`sh CFLAGS='' pip install caterva `

We don’t produce wheels yet, so you will currently need a C compiler in order to install cat4py. The reason why you need the CFLAGS=’’ above is to prevent Anaconda Python injecting their own paths for dependencies (LZ4, Zstd…).
