cpybuild

cpybuild is a Python build tool that transpiles Python code to C using Cython, inspired by tools like Maven and Gulp but designed for Python projects. It automates the build, clean, and test workflow for Python-to-C projects and can be installed as a pip package with a simple CLI.

Features

• Transpile Python code to C using Cython
• Simple CLI: cpybuild [init|build|clean|test]
• Configurable build output location via CPYBUILD_LOC environment variable
• Ensures commands are run from the project root
• Easily extensible for custom tasks

Installation

pip install cpybuild

Quick Start

1. Initialize your project:

   cpybuild init
   

   This creates a cpybuild.yaml config file.

2. Build your project:

   cpybuild build
   

   This transpiles Python files (as configured in cpybuild.yaml) to C in the build directory.

3. Clean build artifacts:

   cpybuild clean
   

4. Run tests:

   cpybuild test
   

Configuration

Edit cpybuild.yaml to specify source files and output directory:

sources:
  - src/**/*.py
output: build/

Environment Variable

Set CPYBUILD_LOC to override the build output directory:

export CPYBUILD_LOC=/custom/build/dir
cpybuild build
