What is this?

Idiomatic Python bindings for Google Go

What does that mean?

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.

What versions of Python are supported?

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.

Installation and Building

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.

Python Extensions

Building extensions is supported using the c-shared buildmode. Some boilerplate code is needed to meet the Python C API - this can be generated using the gen_extension command in this repository.
