Using Go from Python

This repository is a toy example of using Cgo and Python's C FFI to effectively reuse Go code from Python. Tested on Go 1.12+, Python 3.8+.

Notes:

• In the lib dir, one does not need the generated C header file. It can be useful, however, for understanding how Cgo generates code.
• Required Python packages: To run tests, pytest is required. To try the example notebook, jupyter is required.

Usage

Build shared C lib, run Go and Python unit tests:

$ make

Cleanup:

$ make clean

Explore with Jupyter Notebook:

$ jupyter notebook # then open example.ipynb
