Description
Building C and C++ Extensions and Building C and C++ Extensions on Windows are the guides to building extension modules.
For most cases, we are able to use setuptools
, meson
, CMake
, or other build systems. However for CPython's own documentation, we should have a cross-platform primer on building extension modules by hand (i.e. without setuptools
), likely heavily referencing sysconfig
, to guide readers through the internal process of how extension modules are built.
