Writing Python Bindings for C++ Libraries for Performance and Ease of Use - Saksham Sharma - CppNow

[@klumpeet]

Nice, useful talk. Thank you. It's a poor look for the pybind folks that they kept interrupting.

Very good overview! I learned a lot

pybind11 sent a representative to the talk 😆

I got a question, say I'm using a cpp sdk of Nvidia that uses my gpu cuda cores running on a Windows machine for some data processing tasks, this sdk only runs on windows because it uses a set of dlls and other C scripts that I've not dug in. So, If I build a python binding, can I use the python script on Linux or Windows without any problems? It is worth to mention that I do have the nvidia drivers installed on both OS.

Is there a good documentation/tutorial on boost::python somewhere. Also, on linux ubuntu, building boost skips building boost::python library despite python3 and 2.7 both being there. On windows it builds well. Any pointers?

Nice talk! I’m currently half way through wrapping a large project, so, good timing. The performance between boost::python and pybind11 is interesting, wondering if the pybind11 team can fix that. I chose boost, but it’s not header only, so it’s kind of a pain
