A cookiecutter template for using cppyy to generate python bindings for c++ code
License: Other
First of all thank you for creating this project. I've used cookiecutter-cppyy-cmake to create Python bindings for our C++ project successfully on Linux (Ubuntu and CentOS). I found it very easy to use and maintain the Python bindings as our C++ code evolves.
However, we now need to create Python bindings for Windows 10 deployments.
Issue: After successfully running this command ...
$ conda install -c conda-forge cookiecutter
... the cmake command fails because it can't find *.so files.
It appears that these files list *.so files instead of DLLs:
FindCppyy.cmake
, ROOTConfig-targets-release.cmake
, and modules\RootNewMacros.cmake
I believe the following DLLs correspond to the *.so files listed in ROOTConfig-targets-release.cmake
. However, I couldn't find a DLL to match the libMathCore.so:
libCling.so -> <my_venv home>\Lib\site-packages\cppyy_backend\bin\libCling.dll
libThread.so -> <my_venv home>\Lib\site-packages\cppyy_backend\bin\libThreadLegacy.dll
libCore.so -> <my_venv home>\Lib\site-packages\cppyy_backend\bin\libCoreLegacy.dll
libRIO.so -> <my_venv home>\Lib\site-packages\cppyy_backend\bin\libRIOLegacy.dll
libMathCore.so -> ??? **Can't find a corresponding DLL for this *.so file** ???
Can you provide a version of cookiecutter-cppyy-cmake that works on Windows? If not, can you provide guidance on what steps are needed to build it on Windows? If I can't get this to work on Windows I have to scrap all the work I did using this project on Linux and find an alternate solution that works on both Linux and Windows.
Installed Software
Detailed steps:
(base) $ conda create --name my_venv python=3.8
(base) $ conda activate my_venv
NOTE: must be administrator for the following command
(my_venv) $ conda update -n base -c defaults conda
NOTE: running the following as adminstrator fails, so run as regular user
(my_venv) $ pip3 install cppyy

Thanks in advance for your help.
First, thank you for this cookiecutter recipe. It has been a very helpful starting point for our project.
I think we have most things working well. However, I was wondering if you could help with a specific "issue". It's not a serious one, it just creates unnecessary code.
If you try to import a class from the namespace in Python, you cannot. You always have to namespace-qualify your reference. So, if I have a class in cpp namespace cppproject called foo, I may want to:
from cppproject import LogLevels
and then use LogLevels instead of cppproject.LogLevels in my Python code.
However, if I try the import, I get this:
`In [1]: import cppyy_test_bindings
Module cppyy_test_bindings.libcppyy_test_bindingsCppyy not importable in path ['/home/mbohan/source/cppyy-test-bindings/build', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/bin', '/home/afrancis/source/common', '/home/afrancis/source/battery/common', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python37.zip', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/lib-dynload', '/home/mbohan/.local/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages', '/home/mbohan/anaconda3/lib/python3.7/site-packages/IPython/extensions', '/home/mbohan/.ipython'].
In [2]: from cppyy_test_bindings import cppproject
ModuleNotFoundError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
----> 1 from cppproject import LogLevels
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'cppproject'`
Python doesn't see cppproject as a module, so I can't import members from it.
Is there any way to do this? If not, we can continue to cppproject.x for every member we want to access.
