An example Python package written in x86-64 assembly.

# Building Python Extension Modules in Assembly

This repository is a proof-of-concept to demonstrate how you can create a Python Extension in 100% assembly.

Demonstrates:

• How to write a Python module in pure assembly

• How to write a function in pure assembly and call it from Python with Python objects

• How to call the C API to create a PyObject and parse PyTuple (arguments) into raw pointers

• How to pass data back into Python

• How to register a module from assembly

• How to create a method definition in assembly

• How to write back to the Python stack using the dynamic module loader

• How to package a NASM/Assembly Python extension with distutils

The simple proof-of-concept function takes 2 parameters,

`default >>> import pymult >>> pymult.multiply(2, 4) 8 `

## But, Why?

Just because it can be done.

Also, I want to see if some AVX/AVX2 instructions (high-performance matrix multiplication especially) can be used directly from Python.
