如何使用Cython将外部C函数导入到IPython笔记本中?

我想使用Cython将C函数导入到IPython笔记本中。目前,我正在尝试复制Cython documentation中的示例,但是我收到了编译错误。

我的Python代码(来自iPython笔记本):

import cython
%load_ext Cython

---------------------------------- new cell

%%cython
cdef extern from "spam.c":
    void order_spam(int tons)

我的C代码:

// spam.c
#include <stdio.h>

static void order_spam(int tons)
{
    printf("Ordered %i tons of spam!\n", tons);
}

运行此代码,我收到以下回溯和错误消息:

CompileError                              Traceback (most recent call last)

我已尝试在Google上搜索此错误,但我似乎找不到任何相关内容。

%cython魔法命令probaby似乎无法解决问题。

%cython magic命令在这里没有真正完成任务。为了编译它,您还需要提供*.c源文件,%cython不允许(据我所知)。 ( The source file for it indicates that it only uses the text entered in the cell as a source file.

包裹您的C功能:

在提出可能的解决方案之前,请允许我指出您创建的.pyx文件实际上并未自动包裹C函数order_spam。如果您在cpdef块中将其指定为cdef extern,则可以将其自动换行(或者您可以将它自己包裹在cdef extern块之外,这样可以提供更大的灵活性。

我将使用cyspam.pyx的文件名作为Cython文件:

cdef extern from "spam.c":
    cpdef void order_spam(int tons)

注意我如何用cpdef作为函数声明的前缀,这指示Cython自动包装函数。

使用setup.py脚本:

为了完全控制编译过程,通常需要创建一个setup.py脚本,其中包含所有必需的源,包括指定的目录等。

以下是setup.py脚本的外观:

from distutils.core import setup, Extension
from Cython.Build import cythonize

# you specify the c source file in the sources list
ext = Extension('cyspam', sources = ['cyspam.pyx', 'spam.c'])
setup(name="C spam", ext_modules = cythonize([ext]))

您可以通过简单的文本编辑器创建这样的文件,也可以使用%%writefile magic命令通过IPython创建。 setup.py脚本当然应与cyspam.pyxspam.c文件放在同一目录中。

编译文件:

您可以为此打开终端或使用IPython中的 %%bash 命令,无论哪种方式都可以。发出以下命令:

python setup.py build_ext --inplace 

--inplace将生成的.so文件放在当前目录中。

完成这些操作后,您可以轻松导入cyspam中的文件Ipython,然后只需调用已包装的C函数:

汇总来自IPython的所有命令:

总而言之,如果您只想从IPython执行此操作,您将发出以下命令:

In [1]: %%writefile setup.py
   ....: from distutils.core import setup, Extension
   ....: from Cython.Build import cythonize
   ....: ext = Extension('cyspam', sources = ['cyspam.pyx', 'spam.c'])
   ....: setup(name="C spam", ext_modules = cythonize([ext]))

In [2]: %%bash
   ...: python setup.py build_ext --inplace

In [3]: import cyspam

In [4]: cyspam.order_spam(1000)
You ordered 1000 ammount of spam!

作为替代方案,您始终可以创建一个.pyxbld文件,指定pyximport.install()所需的参数。这提供了相同级别的控制,但对于已经具有使用setup.py脚本经验的Python用户来说,这很可能是违反直觉的。
