Build a installable python package with C++

Question

I want to build a Python module that use C++ because it is much faster. I found out that I can use subprocess module to run an executable file however I can't build a package. I also tried ctypes but I can't return object like std::vector in C++. So what is the most efficient way to build a package with wrapped C++ code? Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

You should build a C/C++ Python extension module. See:

https://docs.python.org/3/extending/extending.html

Answer 2

Pybind11 is the easiest way to build a C/C++ extension for Python.
