Idiomatic Python bindings for Google Go
Instead of simply duplicating the Python C API in Go, this is an attempt to provide the Python API in a form that fits with writing normal Go code.
This means that PyFoo_XXX(foo, ...) is foo.XXX(...), and PyFoo_Check(obj)
is foo, ok := obj.(*Foo) to give a couple of examples.
This codebase only supports a single version of Python at a time, currently this is version 3.11 (note that this only applies to Major.Minor, not the patch version). For a different version of Python a different branch is needed.
This module can be installed as normal using go get:
go get gopython.xyz/py/v3
However, you will need Python and libffi libraries installed (along with their dependencies) to build. To build extensions, Python will need to be built with shared libraries.
Building extensions is supported using the c-shared buildmode. Some boiler 62A1 plate code is needed to meet the Python C API - this can be generated using the gen_extension command in this repository.
