Description
🚀 feature request
- Add support for getting Python headers (Python.h) -- use
@rules_python//python/cc:current_py_cc_headers - Provide shared libraries (libpython.so et al) -- use
@rules_python//python/cc:current_py_cc_libs - Provide static libraries (libpython.a)
- Add a rule/rules to build C extensions
- Add
PyInfo.cc_infofield to allow C/C++ info (CcInfo) to propagate (directly
propagating CcInfo it isn't done to prevent a Python target from
being accidentally accepted by a plain CC target)
Describe alternatives you've considered
I've cobbled support for these things by hand in the past, was hoping building extension modules would be officially supported at some point.
Some projects, such as tensorflow and pybind11_bazel, have a python_configure.bzl file and/or py_extension rule that attempts to implement this.
(Note: this issue was originally about updating the readme to address the lack of this feature; it's been edited to be a feature request for this feature directly - rickeylev)
