Sep 13, 2020 · The Python/C API allows C programmers to embed Python directly into C code by exposing aspects of CPython internals. It provides direct access to the Python interpreter from C, acting...
Sep 21, 2018 · cpyext is PyPy's subsystem which provides a compatibility layer to compile and run CPython C extensions inside PyPy. Often people ask why a particular C extension doesn't work or is very slow on PyPy.
CPython, which is written in C, is also accompanied by an Application Programming Interface (API) that enables communication between Python and C (and thus basically to any other language that C can interoperate with).
Jul 13, 2011 · PyPy has alpha-level support for the CPython extension API via an emulation layer called CPyExt. Here's a blog post introducing the support; here's a later one discussing it. If your goal is to interface with a C library, you're probably best off just writing a Python wrapper module that uses ctypes to call into it.
Jul 17, 2023 · This article is going to highlight the features of CPython's C API which is used to build C extensions for Python. I will be going over the general workflow for taking a small library of fairly banal, toy example, C functions and exposing it to a Python wrapper. You might be wondering...
Cython gives you the combined power of Python and C to let you. write Python code that calls back and forth from and to C or C++ code natively at any point. easily tune readable Python code into plain C performance by adding static type declarations, also in Python syntax.

Jan 6, 2016 · CFFI has been a great success so far to call C libraries in your Python programs, in a way that is both simple and that works across CPython 2.x and 3.x and PyPy. This post assumes that you know what CFFI is and how to use it in API mode (ffi.cdef (), ffi.set_source (), ffi.compile ()). A quick overview can be found in this paragraph.
