Description
Hello everyone, and thanks for this great material.
I am trying to use cython to import a C++ library in Python.
I followed the instructions in Python Bindings: Calling C or C++ From Python, but I have a problem.
Everything is fine till I run "invoke build-cython"
The g++ cannot find the path for python and pybind11 directory. The error is:
I guess the line ""-I /usr/include/python3.7 -I . "" in tasks.py file (line 132) does not work for me. Am I right? (is it because I'm using Windows?)
Can anyone please help me to solve this issue?
Thank you in advance.
Vahid.

Research direction
Start with the invoke build-cython entry point and python-bindings/overview_article/tasks.py around line 132, then compare the hard-coded include paths with the Windows compiler error shown in the issue. Done means the example's Cython build completes on Windows with the Python and pybind11 paths resolved.
