This repository contains an example Python module which wraps C++ code. The code presented here was designed to meet four requirements:

1. Python bindings for C++ code (using pybind11).

2. Unit tests for C++ code (using Catch).

3. Unit tests for Python code (using unittest).

4. A setuptools setup.py script for building, installation, and testing.

1. Python bindings for C++ code (using[`pybind11`](http://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/index.html) and built with[CMake](http://cmake.org))

2. Unit tests for C++ code (using[`catch`](http://catch-lib.net))

3. Unit tests for Python code (using`unittest`)

4. A`setuptools` setup.py script for building, installation, and testing

Please see the[blog post that accompanies this repository]() for more information.

To build and install`python_cpp_example` clone or download this repository and then, from within the repository, run:

python3 ./setup.py install

or

pip3 install.

To execute all unit tests, run the following command:

python3 ./setup.pytest

- Python 2 or 3

- CMake 2.8.12 or higher

- A modern compiler with C++11 support

Much of the code in this repository was adapted from the[`pybind11` tutorial](http://pybind11.readthedocs.io/en/stable/basics.html) and the[`pybind11` example CMake repository](https://github.com/pybind/cmake_example).
