# go-python3
|
|
|
|
**Currently supports python-3.7 only.**
|
|
|
|
Golang bindings for the C-API of CPython-3.
|
|
|
|
This package provides a ``go`` package named "python" under which most of the
|
|
``PyXYZ`` functions and macros of the public C-API of CPython have been
|
|
exposed. Theoretically, you should be able use https://docs.python.org/3/c-api
|
|
and know what to type in your ``go`` program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
## 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)..
|
|
|
|
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.
|
|
|
|
## Go get
|
|
|
|
Then simply `go get github.com/DataDog/go-python3`
|

# 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
|
|
and the `error` represent any issue from the Go layer.
|
|
|
|
Example:
|
|
|
|
`func PyRun_AnyFile(filename string)` open `filename` and then call CPython API
|
|
function `int PyRun_AnyFile(FILE *fp, const char *filename)`.
|
|
|
|
Therefore its signature is `func PyRun_AnyFile(filename string) (int, error)`,
|
|
the `int` represent the error code from the CPython `PyRun_AnyFile` function
|
|
and error will be set if we failed to open `filename`.
|
|
|
|
If an error is raise before calling th CPython function `int` default to `-1`.
