11 # This class is really only used by the "build_ext" command, so it might
12 # make sense to put it in distutils.command.build_ext. However, that
13 # module is already big enough, and I want to make this class a bit more
14 # complex to simplify some common cases ("foo" module in "foo.c") and do
15 # better error-checking ("foo.c" actually exists).
17 # Also, putting this in build_ext.py means every setup script would have to
18 # import that large-ish module (indirectly, through distutils.core) in
19 # order to do anything.
21 class Extension:
22 """Just a collection of attributes that describes an extension
23 module and everything needed to build it (hopefully in a portable
24 way, but there are hooks that let you be as unportable as you need).
26 Instance attributes:
27 name : string
28 the full name of the extension, including any packages -- ie.
29 *not* a filename or pathname, but Python dotted name
30 sources : [string]
31 list of source filenames, relative to the distribution root
32 (where the setup script lives), in Unix form (slash-separated)
33 for portability. Source files may be C, C++, SWIG (.i),
34 platform-specific resource files, or whatever else is recognized
35 by the "build_ext" command as source for a Python extension.
36 include_dirs : [string]
37 list of directories to search for C/C++ header files (in Unix
38 form for portability)
39 define_macros : [(name : string, value : string|None)]
40 list of macros to define; each macro is defined using a 2-tuple,
41 where 'value' is either the string to define it to or None to
42 define it without a particular value (equivalent of "#define
43 FOO" in source or -DFOO on Unix C compiler command line)
44 undef_macros : [string]
45 list of macros to undefine explicitly
46 library_dirs : [string]
47 list of directories to search for C/C++ libraries at link time
48 libraries : [string]
49 list of library names (not filenames or paths) to link against
50 runtime_library_dirs : [string]
51 list of directories to search for C/C++ libraries at run time
52 (for shared extensions, this is when the extension is loaded)
53 extra_objects : [string]
54 list of extra files to link with (eg. object files not implied
55 by 'sources', static library that must be explicitly specified,
56 binary resource files, etc.)
57 extra_compile_args : [string]
58 any extra platform- and compiler-specific information to use
59 when compiling the source files in 'sources'. For platforms and
60 compilers where "command line" makes sense, this is typically a
61 list of command-line arguments, but for other platforms it could
62 be anything.
63 extra_link_args : [string]
64 any extra platform- and compiler-specific information to use
65 when linking object files together to create the extension (or
66 to create a new static Python interpreter). Similar
67 interpretation as for 'extra_compile_args'.
68 export_symbols : [string]
69 list of symbols to be exported from a shared extension. Not
70 used on all platforms, and not generally necessary for Python
71 extensions, which typically export exactly one symbol: "init" +
72 extension_name.
73 swig_opts : [string]
74 any extra options to pass to SWIG if a source file has the .i
75 extension.
76 depends : [string]
77 list of files that the extension depends on
78 language : string
79 extension language (i.e. "c", "c++", "objc"). Will be detected
80 from the source extensions if not provided.
81 optional : boolean
82 specifies that a build failure in the extension should not abort the
83 build process, but simply not install the failing extension.
