In the output, you might see that the PyBind11 extension isn't as fast as the CPython extension, though it should be faster than the pure Python implementation. PyBind11 generates slightly more complex code to provide a more Python-like interface to callers. But, because the test code calls the function , times, the results might greatly amplify that overhead!
You could reduce the overhead further by moving the for loop into the native code. This approach involves using the iterator protocol or the PyBind11 py::iterable type for the function parameter to process each element. If you receive an ImportError message when you try to import your module, you can resolve it in one of the following ways:.
Ensure that your output file is named superfastcode. Any other name or extension will prevent it from being imported. If you installed your module by using the setup. Expanding the Python environment in Solution Explorer should display an entry for superfastcode.
In this section, you walk through the process by using the superfastcode project. The process is the same for the superfastcode2 project. When you enable native code debugging, the Python output window might close immediately after the program has finished without giving you the usual Press any key to continue pause. Alternatively, if you don't mind modifying your Python code, you can add import os and os.
This code duplicates the original pause prompt. Because code generally takes longer to run in the debugger, you might want to change the COUNT variable in your. For example, change it from to The debugger stops when the breakpoint code is called. If the breakpoint isn't hit, check to ensure that the configuration is set to Debug and that you've saved the project, which doesn't happen automatically when you start the debugger. You can create Python extensions in various ways, as described in the following table.

Note When you create your own projects, you'll want to configure both the debug and release configurations. Configuration Type Dynamic Library. Be sure to point to the libs folder that contains.

Let us look at some source code first. The thread function needs a bit of explanation. The Python Interpreter will save what happens between the two calls as the state data related to this thread.
As a matter of fact, Python saves the data for each thread that is using the Interpreter so that the thread states are mutually exclusive. But it is your responsibility to create and maintain a state for each C thread. Although the code is portable, it contains numerous patches, which require detailed knowledge of the system call interfaces for specific platforms.
Fortunately, Python has done most of this for us, which brings up the second solution to our question under discussion, namely, letting Python handle the multi-threading. This time the Python code is enhanced to add a threading model:. The C code does not handle threading any more. All it needs to do is just call createThread. In this case, the second solution is cleaner and simpler. More importantly, Python threading model is portable. While the C threading code for Unix and Windows is different, it remains the same in Python.
The Python function createThread is not required if our C code calls the thread class' start and joint methods. Basically, after you create the class instance, call its start method to create a new thread and execute its run method. Note that without frequent short joins to the created thread, the created thread can only get executed at the beginning and the main thread will not release any CPU to it until it's done. You may try this out by commenting the joint call within the while loop.
The behavior is somehow different from that of the previous case where we had called start from within the Python module. This seems to be a feature of multi-threading which is not documented in the Python Library Reference. I have deliberately paid attention to writing generic, portable C code for Python embedding. By encapsulating low-level system calls, Python supports platform portability and makes writing portable code easier.
Most Python modules can be ported between Unix-like environment and Windows with little effort. It may not be always straightforward to write portable C code yourself. Python has done a lot of hard work, as in the above case. Try to explore easier, simpler and cleaner solutions. Anyway, I stop here. How to write portable Python code goes beyond the scope of this tutorial.
It could well make a good title for a new article. On Windows, some tools e. One drawback is that you cannot call the module directly. Instead, your application has to interact with the module through certain types of IPC. This requires that the Python module under discussion be "IPC ready", meaning that it should have implemented an IPC interface to process incoming and outgoing data.
All the source code provided in this article is simple C code for demonstration purpose. This way, high-level application developers don't have to deal with the embedding details.
In this part, I have covered Python embedding from the basics such as calling functions, classes and methods, to not so basic topics like multi-threaded embedding.
The second part of this article shall address this issue from the IPC point of view. Sign in Email. Forgot your password? Search within: Articles Quick Answers Messages. Tagged as VC6.

Embedding basics: functions, classes and methods First, let us start from a sample C program that calls a function within a Python module. Copy Code. Jun is an experienced software architect. He wrote his first computer code on the tape machine for a "super computer". The tape machine reads holes on the black pape tape as source code. When manually fixing code, you need a punch and tranparent tape. To delete code, you block holes or cut off a segment and glue two ends together.
To change code, you block old holes and punch new holes. You already know how to add new code, don't you? Anyway, that was his programming story in early 's. Jun completed university with the specialty in oceanography, and graduate study in meteorology. He obtained his Ph. Jun has worked in a number of different areas. Currently, Jun is an architect at GuestLogix , the global leader in providing onboard retail solutions for airlines and other travel industries.

Member When I try to run the code, it says that the module being the python file I would assume is not found. The code before this section has all run fine. Below is my code: include "stdafx.
I'm using Visual Studio and Python 3. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you! So if I build this in Visual Studio python 3. When I move the code to Linux, it won;t import my module python 3. The CPyObject doesn't tell me if the module imports, the if-statement just jumps to the else block.
I think this means that the CPyObject is null meaning the module doesn't import. Any ideas why this would happen? I want to run this code on vscode but I couldn't figure out how can I do it.
Can you help me out. I also needed to add the Lib and libs folders in my python distribution into the additional links section. The same should hold true for compiling with VS code. Any help in this regard please Thanks, Shirisha. On windows and linux platforms Member Sep How to include Python. Is it a default header file or do I need to write one? How to make it work for both windows and linux platform. My vote of 5 csharpbd Dec I also tried running a Python from a file but the file also needed to be there for running the executable.
Cry I dont want a file along with my executable, I searched in the google sir but I find no results. I am confused here, I dont know what to doConfused Thank you sir for your time.
My vote of 4 gameengineer 6-Jan Good writeup. The code did not work out of the box but that's fine because I am using Python 2. EDIT: I also noticed the. Good article. Great introduction to embedding.
