How to package a cython module?

Question

I have some Cython wrapped C++ code that I want to package up. The package directory is structured like so:

.
├── PackageA
│   ├── Mypackage.pyx
│   ├── MyPackageC.cpp
│   ├── HeaderFile.h
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── setup.py
├── requirements.txt
├── setup.py

I have previously been making a shared object file by running python setup.py build_ext --inplace using the setup.py file inside of the PackageA directory and importing the shared object file but I am unsure how to deal with this inside a package structure. How can I do this?

Answer 1

python setup.py install should do the right thing. You can check it by doing import PackageA from a separate python session outside of the project folder.
