Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software.
Zig is a general-purpose programming language and toolchain for maintaining robust, optimal, and reusable software. The ziglang Python package redistributes the Zig toolchain so that it can be used as a dependency of Python projects.
Although Zig is useful in itself, the Zig toolchain includes a drop-in C and C++ compiler, zig cc
, based on clang. Unlike clang itself, zig cc
is standalone: it does not require additional development files to be installed to target any of the platforms it supports. Through zig cc
, Python code that generates C or C++ code can build it without any external dependencies.
To run the Zig toolchain from the command line, use:
python -m ziglang
To run the Zig toolchain from a Python program, use sys.executable
to locate the Python binary to invoke. For example:
import sys, subprocess
subprocess.call([sys.executable, "-m", "ziglang"])
