:mod:`packaging.compiler` --- Compiler classes
|
|
==============================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: packaging.compiler
|
|
:synopsis: Compiler classes to build C/C++ extensions or libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This subpackage contains an abstract base class representing a compiler and
|
|
concrete implementations for common compilers. The compiler classes should not
|
|
be instantiated directly, but created using the :func:`new_compiler` factory
|
|
function. Compiler types provided by Packaging are listed in
|
|
:ref:`packaging-standard-compilers`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Public functions
|
|
----------------
|
|
|
|
.. function:: new_compiler(plat=None, compiler=None, verbose=0, dry_run=0, force=0)
|
|
|
|
Factory function to generate an instance of some
|
|
:class:`~.ccompiler.CCompiler` subclass for the requested platform or
|
|
compiler type.
|
|
|
|
If no argument is given for *plat* and *compiler*, the default compiler type
|
|
for the platform (:attr:`os.name`) will be used: ``'unix'`` for Unix and
|
|
Mac OS X, ``'msvc'`` for Windows.
|
|
|
|
If *plat* is given, it must be one of ``'posix'``, ``'darwin'`` or ``'nt'``.
|
|
An invalid value will not raise an exception but use the default compiler
|
|
type for the current platform.
|
|
|
|
.. XXX errors should never pass silently; this behavior is particularly
|
|
harmful when a compiler type is given as first argument
|
|
|
|
If *compiler* is given, *plat* will be ignored, allowing you to get for
|
|
example a ``'unix'`` compiler object under Windows or an ``'msvc'`` compiler
|
|
under Unix. However, not all compiler types can be instantiated on every
|
|
platform.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: customize_compiler(compiler)
|
|
|
|
Do any platform-specific customization of a CCompiler instance. Mainly
|
|
needed on Unix to plug in the information that varies across Unices and is
|
|
stored in CPython's Makefile.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: gen_lib_options(compiler, library_dirs, runtime_library_dirs, libraries)
|
|
|
|
Generate linker options for searching library directories and linking with
|
|
specific libraries. *libraries* and *library_dirs* are, respectively, lists
|
|
of library names (not filenames!) and search directories. Returns a list of
|
|
command-line options suitable for use with some compiler (depending on the
|
|
two format strings passed in).
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: gen_preprocess_options(macros, include_dirs)
|
|
|
|
Generate C preprocessor options (:option:`-D`, :option:`-U`, :option:`-I`) as
|
|
used by at least two types of compilers: the typical Unix compiler and Visual
|
|
C++. *macros* is the usual thing, a list of 1- or 2-tuples, where ``(name,)``
|
|
means undefine (:option:`-U`) macro *name*, and ``(name, value)`` means
|
|
define (:option:`-D`) macro *name* to *value*. *include_dirs* is just a list
|
|
of directory names to be added to the header file search path (:option:`-I`).
|
|
Returns a list of command-line options suitable for either Unix compilers or
|
|
Visual C++.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: get_default_compiler(osname, platform)
|
|
|
|
Determine the default compiler to use for the given platform.
|
|
|
|
*osname* should be one of the standard Python OS names (i.e. the ones
|
|
returned by ``os.name``) and *platform* the common value returned by
|
|
``sys.platform`` for the platform in question.
|
|
|
|
The default values are ``os.name`` and ``sys.platform``.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: set_compiler(location)
|
|
|
|
Add or change a compiler
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. function:: show_compilers()
|
|
|
|
Print list of available compilers (used by the :option:`--help-compiler`
|
|
options to :command:`build`, :command:`build_ext`, :command:`build_clib`).
|
|
|
|
|

Standard compilers
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
Concrete subclasses of :class:`~.ccompiler.CCompiler` are provided in submodules
|
|
of the :mod:`packaging.compiler` package. You do not need to import them, using
|
|
:func:`new_compiler` is the public API to use. This table documents the
|
|
standard compilers; be aware that they can be replaced by other classes on your
|
|
platform.

.. [#] On Windows, extension modules typically need to be compiled with the same
|
|
compiler that was used to compile CPython (for example Microsoft Visual
|
|
Studio .NET 2003 for CPython 2.4 and 2.5). The AMD64 and Itanium
|
|
binaries are created using the Platform SDK.
|
|
|
|
Under the hood, there are actually two different subclasses of
|
|
:class:`~.ccompiler.CCompiler` defined: one is compatible with MSVC 2005
|
|
and 2008, the other works with older versions. This should not be a
|
|
concern for regular use of the functions in this module.
|
|
|
|
Packaging will normally choose the right compiler, linker etc. on its
|
|
own. To override this choice, the environment variables
|
|
*DISTUTILS_USE_SDK* and *MSSdk* must be both set. *MSSdk* indicates that
|
|
the current environment has been setup by the SDK's ``SetEnv.Cmd``
|
|
script, or that the environment variables had been registered when the
|
|
SDK was installed; *DISTUTILS_USE_SDK* indicates that the user has made
|
|
an explicit choice to override the compiler selection done by Packaging.

:mod:`packaging.compiler.ccompiler` --- CCompiler base class
|
|
============================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: packaging.compiler.ccompiler
|
|
:synopsis: Abstract CCompiler class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module provides the abstract base class for the :class:`CCompiler`
|
|
classes. A :class:`CCompiler` instance can be used for all the compile and
|
|
link steps needed to build a single project. Methods are provided to set
|
|
options for the compiler --- macro definitions, include directories, link path,
|
|
libraries and the like.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: CCompiler([verbose=0, dry_run=0, force=0])
|
|
|
|
The abstract base class :class:`CCompiler` defines the interface that must be
|
|
implemented by real compiler classes. The class also has some utility
|
|
methods used by several compiler classes.
|
|
|
|
The basic idea behind a compiler abstraction class is that each instance can
|
|
be used for all the compile/link steps in building a single project. Thus,
|
|
attributes common to all of those compile and link steps --- include
|
|
directories, macros to define, libraries to link against, etc. --- are
|
|
attributes of the compiler instance. To allow for variability in how
|
|
individual files are treated, most of those attributes may be varied on a
|
|
per-compilation or per-link basis.
|
|
|
|
The constructor for each subclass creates an instance of the Compiler object.
|
|
Flags are *verbose* (show verbose output), *dry_run* (don't actually execute
|
|
the steps) and *force* (rebuild everything, regardless of dependencies). All
|
|
of these flags default to ``0`` (off). Note that you probably don't want to
|
|
instantiate :class:`CCompiler` or one of its subclasses directly - use the
|
|
:func:`packaging.CCompiler.new_compiler` factory function instead.
|
|
|
|
The following methods allow you to manually alter compiler options for the
|
|
instance of the Compiler class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.add_include_dir(dir)
|
|
|
|
Add *dir* to the list of directories that will be searched for header
|
|
files. The compiler is instructed to search directories in the order in
|
|
which they are supplied by successive calls to :meth:`add_include_dir`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.set_include_dirs(dirs)
|
|
|
|
Set the list of directories that will be searched to *dirs* (a list of
|
|
strings). Overrides any preceding calls to :meth:`add_include_dir`;
|
|
subsequent calls to :meth:`add_include_dir` add to the list passed to
|
|
:meth:`set_include_dirs`. This does not affect any list of standard
|
|
include directories that the compiler may search by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.add_library(libname)
|
|
|
|
Add *libname* to the list of libraries that will be included in all links
|
|
driven by this compiler object. Note that *libname* should *not* be the
|
|
name of a file containing a library, but the name of the library itself:
|
|
the actual filename will be inferred by the linker, the compiler, or the
|
|
compiler class (depending on the platform).
|
|
|
|
The linker will be instructed to link against libraries in the order they
|
|
were supplied to :meth:`add_library` and/or :meth:`set_libraries`. It is
|
|
perfectly valid to duplicate library names; the linker will be instructed
|
|
to link against libraries as many times as they are mentioned.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.set_libraries(libnames)
|
|
|
|
Set the list of libraries to be included in all links driven by this
|
|
compiler object to *libnames* (a list of strings). This does not affect
|
|
any standard system libraries that the linker may include by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.add_library_dir(dir)
|
|
|
|
Add *dir* to the list of directories that will be searched for libraries
|
|
specified to :meth:`add_library` and :meth:`set_libraries`. The linker
|
|
will be instructed to search for libraries in the order they are supplied
|
|
to :meth:`add_library_dir` and/or :meth:`set_library_dirs`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.set_library_dirs(dirs)
|
|
|
|
Set the list of library search directories to *dirs* (a list of strings).
|
|
This does not affect any standard library search path that the linker may
|
|
search by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.add_runtime_library_dir(dir)
|
|
|
|
Add *dir* to the list of directories that will be searched for shared
|
|
libraries at runtime.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.set_runtime_library_dirs(dirs)
|
|
|
|
Set the list of directories to search for shared libraries at runtime to
|
|
*dirs* (a list of strings). This does not affect any standard search path
|
|
that the runtime linker may search by default.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.define_macro(name[, value=None])
|
|
|
|
Define a preprocessor macro for all compilations driven by this compiler
|
|
object. The optional parameter *value* should be a string; if it is not
|
|
supplied, then the macro will be defined without an explicit value and the
|
|
exact outcome depends on the compiler used (XXX true? does ANSI say
|
|
anything about this?)
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.undefine_macro(name)
|
|
|
|
Undefine a preprocessor macro for all compilations driven by this compiler
|
|
object. If the same macro is defined by :meth:`define_macro` and
|
|
undefined by :meth:`undefine_macro` the last call takes precedence
|
|
(including multiple redefinitions or undefinitions). If the macro is
|
|
redefined/undefined on a per-compilation basis (i.e. in the call to
|
|
:meth:`compile`), then that takes precedence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.add_link_object(object)
|
|
|
|
Add *object* to the list of object files (or analogues, such as explicitly
|
|
named library files or the output of "resource compilers") to be included
|
|
in every link driven by this compiler object.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.set_link_objects(objects)
|
|
|
|
Set the list of object files (or analogues) to be included in every link
|
|
to *objects*. This does not affect any standard object files that the
|
|
linker may include by default (such as system libraries).
|
|
|
|
The following methods implement methods for autodetection of compiler
|
|
options, providing some functionality similar to GNU :program:`autoconf`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.detect_language(sources)
|
|
|
|
Detect the language of a given file, or list of files. Uses the instance
|
|
attributes :attr:`language_map` (a dictionary), and :attr:`language_order`
|
|
(a list) to do the job.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.find_library_file(dirs, lib[, debug=0])
|
|
|
|
Search the specified list of directories for a static or shared library file
|
|
*lib* and return the full path to that file. If *debug* is true, look for a
|
|
debugging version (if that makes sense on the current platform). Return
|
|
``None`` if *lib* wasn't found in any of the specified directories.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.has_function(funcname [, includes=None, include_dirs=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None])
|
|
|
|
Return a boolean indicating whether *funcname* is supported on the current
|
|
platform. The optional arguments can be used to augment the compilation
|
|
environment by providing additional include files and paths and libraries and
|
|
paths.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.library_dir_option(dir)
|
|
|
|
Return the compiler option to add *dir* to the list of directories searched for
|
|
libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.library_option(lib)
|
|
|
|
Return the compiler option to add *dir* to the list of libraries linked into the
|
|
shared library or executable.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.runtime_library_dir_option(dir)
|
|
|
|
Return the compiler option to add *dir* to the list of directories searched for
|
|
runtime libraries.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.set_executables(**args)
|
|
|
|
Define the executables (and options for them) that will be run to perform the
|
|
various stages of compilation. The exact set of executables that may be
|
|
specified here depends on the compiler class (via the 'executables' class
|
|
attribute), but most will have:
|
|
|
|
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
|
|
| attribute | description |
|
|
+==============+==========================================+
|
|
| *compiler* | the C/C++ compiler |
|
|
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
|
|
| *linker_so* | linker used to create shared objects and |
|
|
| | libraries |
|
|
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
|
|
| *linker_exe* | linker used to create binary executables |
|
|
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
|
|
| *archiver* | static library creator |
|
|
+--------------+------------------------------------------+
|
|
|
|
On platforms with a command line (Unix, DOS/Windows), each of these is a string
|
|
that will be split into executable name and (optional) list of arguments.
|
|
(Splitting the string is done similarly to how Unix shells operate: words are
|
|
delimited by spaces, but quotes and backslashes can override this. See
|
|
:func:`packaging.util.split_quoted`.)
|
|
|
|
The following methods invoke stages in the build process.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.compile(sources[, output_dir=None, macros=None, include_dirs=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, depends=None])
|
|
|
|
Compile one or more source files. Generates object files (e.g. transforms a
|
|
:file:`.c` file to a :file:`.o` file.)
|
|
|
|
*sources* must be a list of filenames, most likely C/C++ files, but in reality
|
|
anything that can be handled by a particular compiler and compiler class (e.g.
|
|
an ``'msvc'`` compiler` can handle resource files in *sources*). Return a list of
|
|
object filenames, one per source filename in *sources*. Depending on the
|
|
implementation, not all source files will necessarily be compiled, but all
|
|
corresponding object filenames will be returned.
|
|
|
|
If *output_dir* is given, object files will be put under it, while retaining
|
|
their original path component. That is, :file:`foo/bar.c` normally compiles to
|
|
:file:`foo/bar.o` (for a Unix implementation); if *output_dir* is *build*, then
|
|
it would compile to :file:`build/foo/bar.o`.
|
|
|
|
*macros*, if given, must be a list of macro definitions. A macro definition is
|
|
either a ``(name, value)`` 2-tuple or a ``(name,)`` 1-tuple. The former defines
|
|
a macro; if the value is ``None``, the macro is defined without an explicit
|
|
value. The 1-tuple case undefines a macro. Later
|
|
definitions/redefinitions/undefinitions take precedence.
|
|
|
|
*include_dirs*, if given, must be a list of strings, the directories to add to
|
|
the default include file search path for this compilation only.
|
|
|
|
*debug* is a boolean; if true, the compiler will be instructed to output debug
|
|
symbols in (or alongside) the object file(s).
|
|
|
|
*extra_preargs* and *extra_postargs* are implementation-dependent. On platforms
|
|
that have the notion of a command line (e.g. Unix, DOS/Windows), they are most
|
|
likely lists of strings: extra command-line arguments to prepend/append to the
|
|
compiler command line. On other platforms, consult the implementation class
|
|
documentation. In any event, they are intended as an escape hatch for those
|
|
occasions when the abstract compiler framework doesn't cut the mustard.
|
|
|
|
*depends*, if given, is a list of filenames that all targets depend on. If a
|
|
source file is older than any file in depends, then the source file will be
|
|
recompiled. This supports dependency tracking, but only at a coarse
|
|
granularity.
|
|
|
|
Raises :exc:`CompileError` on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.create_static_lib(objects, output_libname[, output_dir=None, debug=0, target_lang=None])
|
|
|
|
Link a bunch of stuff together to create a static library file. The "bunch of
|
|
stuff" consists of the list of object files supplied as *objects*, the extra
|
|
object files supplied to :meth:`add_link_object` and/or
|
|
:meth:`set_link_objects`, the libraries supplied to :meth:`add_library` and/or
|
|
:meth:`set_libraries`, and the libraries supplied as *libraries* (if any).
|
|
|
|
*output_libname* should be a library name, not a filename; the filename will be
|
|
inferred from the library name. *output_dir* is the directory where the library
|
|
file will be put. XXX defaults to what?
|
|
|
|
*debug* is a boolean; if true, debugging information will be included in the
|
|
library (note that on most platforms, it is the compile step where this matters:
|
|
the *debug* flag is included here just for consistency).
|
|
|
|
*target_lang* is the target language for which the given objects are being
|
|
compiled. This allows specific linkage time treatment of certain languages.
|
|
|
|
Raises :exc:`LibError` on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.link(target_desc, objects, output_filename[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, export_symbols=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, build_temp=None, target_lang=None])
|
|
|
|
Link a bunch of stuff together to create an executable or shared library file.
|
|
|
|
The "bunch of stuff" consists of the list of object files supplied as *objects*.
|
|
*output_filename* should be a filename. If *output_dir* is supplied,
|
|
*output_filename* is relative to it (i.e. *output_filename* can provide
|
|
directory components if needed).
|
|
|
|
*libraries* is a list of libraries to link against. These are library names,
|
|
not filenames, since they're translated into filenames in a platform-specific
|
|
way (e.g. *foo* becomes :file:`libfoo.a` on Unix and :file:`foo.lib` on
|
|
DOS/Windows). However, they can include a directory component, which means the
|
|
linker will look in that specific directory rather than searching all the normal
|
|
locations.
|
|
|
|
*library_dirs*, if supplied, should be a list of directories to search for
|
|
libraries that were specified as bare library names (i.e. no directory
|
|
component). These are on top of the system default and those supplied to
|
|
:meth:`add_library_dir` and/or :meth:`set_library_dirs`. *runtime_library_dirs*
|
|
is a list of directories that will be embedded into the shared library and used
|
|
to search for other shared libraries that \*it\* depends on at run-time. (This
|
|
may only be relevant on Unix.)
|
|
|
|
*export_symbols* is a list of symbols that the shared library will export.
|
|
(This appears to be relevant only on Windows.)
|
|
|
|
*debug* is as for :meth:`compile` and :meth:`create_static_lib`, with the
|
|
slight distinction that it actually matters on most platforms (as opposed to
|
|
:meth:`create_static_lib`, which includes a *debug* flag mostly for form's
|
|
sake).
|
|
|
|
*extra_preargs* and *extra_postargs* are as for :meth:`compile` (except of
|
|
course that they supply command-line arguments for the particular linker being
|
|
used).
|
|
|
|
*target_lang* is the target language for which the given objects are being
|
|
compiled. This allows specific linkage time treatment of certain languages.
|
|
|
|
Raises :exc:`LinkError` on failure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.link_executable(objects, output_progname[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, target_lang=None])
|
|
|
|
Link an executable. *output_progname* is the name of the file executable, while
|
|
*objects* are a list of object filenames to link in. Other arguments are as for
|
|
the :meth:`link` method.
|

|
|
|
|
Link a shared library. *output_libname* is the name of the output library,
|
|
while *objects* is a list of object filenames to link in. Other arguments are
|
|
as for the :meth:`link` method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.link_shared_object(objects, output_filename[, output_dir=None, libraries=None, library_dirs=None, runtime_library_dirs=None, export_symbols=None, debug=0, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None, build_temp=None, target_lang=None])
|
|
|
|
Link a shared object. *output_filename* is the name of the shared object that
|
|
will be created, while *objects* is a list of object filenames to link in.
|
|
Other arguments are as for the :meth:`link` method.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.preprocess(source[, output_file=None, macros=None, include_dirs=None, extra_preargs=None, extra_postargs=None])
|
|
|
|
Preprocess a single C/C++ source file, named in *source*. Output will be written
|
|
to file named *output_file*, or *stdout* if *output_file* not supplied.
|
|
*macros* is a list of macro definitions as for :meth:`compile`, which will
|
|
augment the macros set with :meth:`define_macro` and :meth:`undefine_macro`.
|
|
*include_dirs* is a list of directory names that will be added to the default
|
|
list, in the same way as :meth:`add_include_dir`.
|
|
|
|
Raises :exc:`PreprocessError` on failure.
|
|
|
|
The following utility methods are defined by the :class:`CCompiler` class, for
|
|
use by the various concrete subclasses.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.executable_filename(basename[, strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])
|
|
|
|
Returns the filename of the executable for the given *basename*. Typically for
|
|
non-Windows platforms this is the same as the basename, while Windows will get
|
|
a :file:`.exe` added.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.library_filename(libname[, lib_type='static', strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])
|
|
|
|
Returns the filename for the given library name on the current platform. On Unix
|
|
a library with *lib_type* of ``'static'`` will typically be of the form
|
|
:file:`liblibname.a`, while a *lib_type* of ``'dynamic'`` will be of the form
|
|
:file:`liblibname.so`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.object_filenames(source_filenames[, strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])
|
|
|
|
Returns the name of the object files for the given source files.
|
|
*source_filenames* should be a list of filenames.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.shared_object_filename(basename[, strip_dir=0, output_dir=''])
|
|
|
|
Returns the name of a shared object file for the given file name *basename*.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.execute(func, args[, msg=None, level=1])
|
|
|
|
Invokes :func:`packaging.util.execute` This method invokes a Python function
|
|
*func* with the given arguments *args*, after logging and taking into account
|
|
the *dry_run* flag. XXX see also.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.spawn(cmd)
|
|
|
|
Invokes :func:`packaging.util.spawn`. This invokes an external process to run
|
|
the given command. XXX see also.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.mkpath(name[, mode=511])
|
|
|
|
Invokes :func:`packaging.dir_util.mkpath`. This creates a directory and any
|
|
missing ancestor directories. XXX see also.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. method:: CCompiler.move_file(src, dst)
|
|
|
|
Invokes :meth:`packaging.file_util.move_file`. Renames *src* to *dst*. XXX see
|
|
also.

:mod:`packaging.compiler.extension` --- The Extension class
|
|
===========================================================
|
|
|
|
.. module:: packaging.compiler.extension
|
|
:synopsis: Class used to represent C/C++ extension modules.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This module provides the :class:`Extension` class, used to represent C/C++
|
|
extension modules.
|
|
|
|
.. class:: Extension
|
|
|
|
The Extension class describes a single C or C++ extension module. It accepts
|
|
the following keyword arguments in its constructor:
|
|
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| argument name | value | type [#]_ |
|
|
+========================+================================+===========================+
|
|
| *name* | the full name of the | string |
|
|
| | extension, including any | |
|
|
| | packages --- i.e. *not* a | |
|
|
| | filename or pathname, but | |
|
|
| | Python dotted name | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *sources* | list of source filenames, | string |
|
|
| | relative to the distribution | |
|
|
| | root (where the setup script | |
|
|
| | lives), in Unix form (slash- | |
|
|
| | separated) for portability. | |
|
|
| | Source files may be C, C++, | |
|
|
| | SWIG (.i), platform-specific | |
|
|
| | resource files, or whatever | |
|
|
| | else is recognized by the | |
|
|
| | :command:`build_ext` command | |
|
|
| | as source for a Python | |
|
|
| | extension. | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *include_dirs* | list of directories to search | string |
|
|
| | for C/C++ header files (in | |
|
|
| | Unix form for portability) | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *define_macros* | list of macros to define; each | (string, string) tuple or |
|
|
| | macro is defined using a | (name, ``None``) |
|
|
| | 2-tuple ``(name, value)``, | |
|
|
| | where *value* is | |
|
|
| | either the string to define it | |
|
|
| | to or ``None`` to define it | |
|
|
| | without a particular value | |
|
|
| | (equivalent of ``#define FOO`` | |
|
|
| | in source or :option:`-DFOO` | |
|
|
| | on Unix C compiler command | |
|
|
| | line) | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *undef_macros* | list of macros to undefine | string |
|
|
| | explicitly | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *library_dirs* | list of directories to search | string |
|
|
| | for C/C++ libraries at link | |
|
|
| | time | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *libraries* | list of library names (not | string |
|
|
| | filenames or paths) to link | |
|
|
| | against | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *runtime_library_dirs* | list of directories to search | string |
|
|
| | for C/C++ libraries at run | |
|
|
| | time (for shared extensions, | |
|
|
| | this is when the extension is | |
|
|
| | loaded) | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *extra_objects* | list of extra files to link | string |
|
|
| | with (e.g. object files not | |
|
|
| | implied by 'sources', static | |
|
|
| | library that must be | |
|
|
| | explicitly specified, binary | |
|
|
| | resource files, etc.) | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *extra_compile_args* | any extra platform- and | string |
|
|
| | compiler-specific information | |
|
|
| | to use when compiling the | |
|
|
| | source files in 'sources'. For | |
|
|
| | platforms and compilers where | |
|
|
| | a command line makes sense, | |
|
|
| | this is typically a list of | |
|
|
| | command-line arguments, but | |
|
|
| | for other platforms it could | |
|
|
| | be anything. | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *extra_link_args* | any extra platform- and | string |
|
|
| | compiler-specific information | |
|
|
| | to use when linking object | |
|
|
| | files together to create the | |
|
|
| | extension (or to create a new | |
|
|
| | static Python interpreter). | |
|
|
| | Similar interpretation as for | |
|
|
| | 'extra_compile_args'. | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *export_symbols* | list of symbols to be exported | string |
|
|
| | from a shared extension. Not | |
|
|
| | used on all platforms, and not | |
|
|
| | generally necessary for Python | |
|
|
| | extensions, which typically | |
|
|
| | export exactly one symbol: | |
|
|
| | ``init`` + extension_name. | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *depends* | list of files that the | string |
|
|
| | extension depends on | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
| *language* | extension language (i.e. | string |
|
|
| | ``'c'``, ``'c++'``, | |
|
|
| | ``'objc'``). Will be detected | |
|
|
| | from the source extensions if | |
|
|
| | not provided. | |
|
|
+------------------------+--------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
|
|
