Wrapping and extending a pybind11 library

[K20shores]

I am working on extending a project in c++ which has pybind11 bindings. We want to take some of the generated python classes and extend them. This means we need to mix our distribution with python code. I cannot figure out how to add python files and have them packaged alongside the rest of the app.

I've placed my pybind11 wrapper in a directory called python which contains the cmake code to build my python library. What I cannot figure out is where I should place *.py files which can import python code from the generated pybdin11 library and are also installed alongside the rest of my package.

Is there an example somewhere I can follow?

Ah, my package name was mechanism_configuraiton. I had also set the pybind11 module name to mechanism_configuraiton, which I guess conflicts with the python package name. I had to set the pybind11 module name to _mechanism_configuraiton and, then everything worked
