Browserslist-rs Gets Major Refactor, Cutting Binary Size by Over 1MB
Browserslist-rs now uses static data to reduce binary size by over 1MB, improving memory use and performance for Rust-based frontend tools.
SWIG is a software development tool that connects programs written in C and C++ with a variety of high-level programming languages.
A project that packages SWIG as a Python package, enabling swig
to be installed from PyPI:
pip install swig
or used as part of build-system.requires
in a pyproject.toml file:
[build-system]
requires = ["swig"]
PyPI package versions will follow the major.minor.patch
version numbers of SWIG releases.
Binary wheels for Windows, macOS, and Linux for most CPU architectures supported on PyPI are provided. ARM wheels for Raspberry Pi available at https://www.piwheels.org/project/swig/.
SWIG License: GPL-3.0-or-later with portions under LICENSE-UNIVERSITIES (see LICENSE-SWIG for details)
SWIG can be installed by pip with:
pip install swig
or:
python -m pip install swig
Building from the source dist package requires internet access in order to download a copy of the SWIG source code.
Using pipx run swig <args>
will run SWIG without any install step, as long as the machine has pipx installed (which includes GitHub Actions runners).
SWIG can be added to the build-system.requires
key in a pyproject.toml file for building Python extensions that use SWIG to generate bindings.
[build-system]
requires = ["swig"]
The code for this project is covered by the Apache License, Version 2.0. Source distributions do not include a copy of the SWIG source code or binaries. Binary wheels are covered by the SWIG license (GPLv3), due to their inclusion of a compiled SWIG binary and library files.
