Description

Hi all,

I’ve been using PyBind11 for some time now (what a wonderful library, thank you all of you devs!!) and in conjunction developed a Python cmake-setuptools integration package, which works well with pybind11, and I'd love to hear some inputs from fellow pybind11 users as I'm still pretty green in Python.

Here are the links to the project:

pypi
github project main
pybind11 example

The fundamental idea which got me started this project is to build & install a pybind11 package with a single-line setup.py file with a properly configured CMake project. It forces you a little different dev flow (must rebuild the project after only editing a py file), but I think it offers great convenience and value for us, pybind11 users.

I'm afraid it's still in early stage (functional but minimally tested) and not yet well documented, but if interested, please head over there and check it out.

Thanks!
Kesh
