8.3 Single extension module
Extension modules are specified using the ext_modules option.
package_dir has no effect on where extension source files are
found; it only affects the source for pure Python modules. The simplest
case, a single extension module in a single C source file, is:
If the foo extension belongs in the root package, the setup
script for this could be
from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
setup(name='foobar',
version='1.0',
ext_modules=[Extension('foo', ['foo.c'])],
)
If the extension actually belongs in a package, say foopkg,
then
With exactly the same source tree layout, this extension can be put in
the foopkg package simply by changing the name of the
extension:
from distutils.core import setup
from distutils.extension import Extension
setup(name='foobar',
version='1.0',
ext_modules=[Extension('foopkg.foo', ['foo.c'])],
)
Release 2.5.2, documentation updated on 21st February, 2008.
