python-cython-demo

Inspired by Kurt W. Smith's book on Cython

Example

This example make use of a simple C++ source code which implements two Taylor series sinus() and cosinus(). The point is to illustrate how C/C++ functions can be called from python with the use of Cython.

Lower-level learning goals

• Show how distutils can be used to build a Python library
• Show how CMake can be used to accomblish the same thing

Requirements

• Python
• Cython
• CMake
• C++ compilers

Installing Python dependencies

In this example using Virtual Environments but also Anaconda or Miniconda will do the job:
