Bug#872759: ITP: py3c -- Python 2/3 compatibility layer for C extensions
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Matthias Klose <doko@debian.org>
py3c
py3c helps you port C extensions to Python 3.
It provides a detailed guide, and a set of macros to make porting easy and
reduce boilerplate.
Design principles
Reduce chances of accidental subtle errors
Minimize boilerplate
Prefer the Python 3 way of doing things
Minimize semantic changes under Python 2
Versions
Projects using py3c will be compatible with CPython 2.6, 2.7, and 3.3+.
Guides
A detailed porting guide is provided.
A cheatsheet is available for those that already know the Python C API, and want
to know what the py3c macros do.
Installation
If your build system supports pkg-config, you can set it up to look for a
system-wide installation of py3c.
Alternately, py3c can be used as a header-only library: copy the headers to your
project and use them.
If you wish to install py3c system-wide (e.g. if you are a distro packager), see
the Contributing chapter in the documentation.
