Combining CMakeLists.txt, Boost.Python, and Python setuptools can be a powerful way to integrate C++ code with Python and distribute it as a Python package. Boost.Python provides a seamless bridge between C++ and Python, and setuptools simplifies the packaging and distribution of Python projects.
In this tutorial, we'll create a simple example project that includes a C++ module using Boost.Python, a CMakeLists.txt file for building the C++ code, and a setup.py file for packaging the Python module with setuptools.
Create a project folder with the following structure:
Create a C++ source file example.cpp in the src directory:
Create a CMakeLists.txt file in the project root:
Create a setup.py file in the project root:
Open a terminal and navigate to the project root. Run the following commands:
This command will use the setup.py file to build the C++ code using CMake and install the Python package.
Create a Python script to test the installed package:
Run the script:
You should see the output: "Hello from C++!"
Congratulations! You have successfully combined CMakeLists.txt, Boost.Python, and Python setuptools to create a Python package that includes a C++ module.
