# go-python3
**Currently supports python-3.7 only.**
Golang bindings for the C-API of CPython-3.
@ -8,23 +9,26 @@ This package provides a ``go`` package named "python" under which most of the
exposed. Theoretically, you should be able use https://docs.python.org/3/c-api
and know what to type in your ``go`` program.
Currently supports python-3.7+.
This project was inspired by https://github.com/sbinet/go-python. Go and take a look if we need something for python-2.7!
Install
-------
# Install
Simply `go get github.com/DataDog/go-python3`
## Deps
We will need `pkg-config` and a working `python3.7` environment to build these
bindings. Make sure you have Python libraries and header files installed as
well (`python3.7-dev` on Debian or `python3-devel` on Centos for example)..
Build
-----
By default `pkg-config` will look at the `python3` library so if you want to
choose a specific version just symlink `python-X.Y.pc` to `python3.pc` or use
the `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` environment variable.

# API
Some functions mix go code and call to Python function. Those functions will
return and `int` and `error` type. The `int` represent the Python result code
