This Is How To Use C++ Functions In A Python App
Do you want to know how to create and C++ functions in a Python app? In this article we will show you how to use the new C++ Builder 12 to create a C++ function, step by step, and then call that function in any Python app. C++ Builder 12 is released packed full of great features, optimizations, and improvements. One of the great features of C++ Builder 12 was the inclusion of an initial CLANG C++ compiler which is another big step introducing a new 64bit bcc64x CLANG compiler which supports C++11, C++14, C++17, and partially C++20 standards. It is still in active development, but I would like to explain there is a great feature of new clang compiler that supports the latest Python modules. In this post, we explain how to develop Python modules with the new bcc64x C++ Builder 12 CLANG compiler. Table of Contents What about using Python with Delphi? What is Python? What is the new C++ Builder 12 and its new CLANG Compiler? How to write a Python module in C++? How to develop Python modules with the new C++ Builder 12 CLANG compiler? Step 1. Generate Python import library Step 2. Copy Python import library Step 3. Create your C++ code for the Python module Step 4. Create some Python code that uses the module Step 5. Create a bat file that creates a shared library using bcc64x Step 6. Execute compile.bat and run Python example What about using Python with Delphi? If you are using Delphi, you should also check out the Python4Delphi tools. You can find out more about our free Python tools here. and read about Python4Delphi in this blog post: What is Python? Python is hugely popular and has some really useful libraries. Python is particularly strong in the field of AI and machine learning (ML). If you are C++ developer, you might want your users to be able to analyze data with AI modules or frameworks written in the Python language in your applications. Let’s imagine you want the users to carry out a few button-clicks to do some heavy AI analysis. That way you get the best of both worlds by having the raw speed and power of C++ which can run Python modules. In the programming world today, the Python programming language is very popular – perhaps second only to C++. Python is easy to use, and hugely popular because it is easy to learn and has the support from big companies like Google. One of the areas in which Python is particularly successful are with libraries and frameworks for AI technology and machine learning. It is a great object-oriented, interpreted, and interactive programming language. Python has very clear syntax. It has modules, classes, exceptions, very high-level dynamic data types, and dynamic typing. There are interfaces to many system calls and libraries, as well as to various windowing systems. New built-in Python modules are easily written in C or C++. Python is also usable as a scripting extension for applications written in other languages that benefit from its ease of use. Python is free to use. More information can be found on their official web page https://www.python.org/ The latest version of Python (at the time of writing) is Python 3.12, released in October 2023. It has a lot of new changes […]
