py-msbuild-extractor

A pip launcher (Windows and Linux) that bundles a self-contained build of microsoft/msbuild-extractor-sample and exposes it as the py-msbuild-extractor command. It generates compile_commands.json from Visual C++ MSBuild projects (.vcxproj, .sln, .slnx).

pip install py-msbuild-extractor
py-msbuild-extractor --help

This wheel only redistributes the launcher. On Windows, the machine running it must have Visual Studio Build Tools with the C++ (Desktop development with C++) workload installed — the tool shells out to vswhere.exe, resolves VCTargetsPath/VCToolsInstallDir, and invokes cl.exe. On Linux, it needs a system-wide .NET SDK and an MSVC toolchain set up via tools/setup-linux-toolchain.sh (see the project repository for details).

See the project repository for full documentation, the pinned upstream commit, and how it is built.
