PyOZ
Zig's power meets Python's simplicity. Build blazing-fast Python extensions with zero boilerplate and zero Python C API headaches.
Documentation | Getting Started | Examples | GitHub
Quick Example
Write normal Zig code -- PyOZ handles all the Python integration automatically:
const pyoz = @import("PyOZ");
const Point = struct {
x: f64,
y: f64,
pub fn magnitude(self: *const Point) f64 {
return @sqrt(self.x * self.x + self.y * self.y);
}
};
fn add(a: i64, b: i64) i64 {
return a + b;
}
pub const Module = pyoz.module(.{
.name = "mymodule",
.funcs = &.{
pyoz.func("add", add, "Add two numbers"),
},
.classes = &.{
pyoz.class("Point", Point),
},
});
import mymodule
print(mymodule.add(2, 3)) # 5
p = mymodule.Point(3.0, 4.0)
print(p.magnitude()) # 5.0
print(p.x, p.y) # 3.0 4.0
Features
- Declarative API -- Define modules, functions, and classes with simple struct literals
- Automatic type conversion -- Zig
i64,f64,[]const u8, structs, optionals, error unions all map to Python types automatically - Full class support --
__init__,__repr__,__add__,__iter__,__getitem__, properties, static/class methods, inheritance - NumPy integration -- Zero-copy array access via buffer protocol
- Error handling -- Zig errors become Python exceptions; custom exception types supported
- Type stubs -- Automatic
.pyigeneration for IDE autocomplete and type checking - GIL management -- Release the GIL for CPU-bound Zig code with
pyoz.releaseGIL() - Async --
awaitZig functions and methods from asyncio (built on Zig'sstd.Io), with cancellation that reaches the Zig task - Free-threading -- Runs without the GIL on free-threaded CPython (3.14t); class instances get per-object locking automatically
- Cross-class references -- Methods can accept/return instances of other classes in the same module
- Simple tooling --
pyoz init,pyoz build,pyoz develop,pyoz publish
Installation
pip install pyoz
Requires Zig 0.16.0+ and Python 3.10--3.14.
Getting Started
# Create a new project
pyoz init myproject
cd myproject
# Build and install for development
pyoz develop
# Test it
python -c "import myproject; print(myproject.add(1, 2))"
