libclang-for-pip
The repository contains code taken from the LLVM project, to make it easier to install
clang's python bindings.
The repository copies necessary Python binding files from LLVM repo, adds packaging scripts
to make it a valid Python package and finally uploads the package to pypi. To make the libclang
available without installing the LLVM toolkits, this package provides bundled static-linked libclang
shared library for different platforms, which, should work well on OSX, Windows, as well as
usual Linux distributions.
The aim of this project is to make the clang.cindex
(aka., Clang Python Bindings)
available for more Python users, without setting up the LLVM environment. To install the package,
you just need to run
pip install libclang
Note that the library is named libclang
, the package clang
on PyPi is another package and
doesn't bundle the prebuilt shared library.
Internals
