nanobind: tiny and efficient C++/Python bindings

Project description

nanobind logo

nanobind is a small binding library that exposes C++ types in Python and vice versa. It is reminiscent of Boost.Python and pybind11 and uses near-identical syntax. In contrast to these existing tools, nanobind is more efficient: bindings compile in a shorter amount of time, produce smaller binaries, and have better runtime performance.

More concretely, benchmarks show up to ~4× faster compile time, ~5× smaller binaries, and ~10× lower runtime overheads compared to pybind11. nanobind also outperforms Cython in important metrics (3-12× binary size reduction, 1.6-4× compilation time reduction, similar runtime performance).
