Description

Generates Python bindings for C and C++ libraries, helping developers expose native APIs to Python projects. It is commonly used when a library needs Python modules backed by compiled code.

It is a development generator, not an end-user app. Generated bindings need testing for ownership, lifetime, exceptions, and API compatibility across Python and compiler versions.

How to run
