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.
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
.
