How can I use CFFI for advanced Python integrations?

CFFI, or C Foreign Function Interface, allows you to call C code from Python. What specific integration are you considering?

I want to integrate a C library for image processing. Any tips?

You can start by defining the C functions you want to use in a .cffi file. Then, compile it and load it in Python.

What are the steps to compile the C code with CFFI?

First, write your C code, then create a setup.py file to compile it using CFFI. Finally, run the setup script to build the extension.

Can you provide an example of a setup.py for this?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

from cffi import FFI

ffi = FFI()
ffi.cdef("void process_image();")

ffi.set_source("myimage", "myimage.c")

if __name__ == "__main__":
    ffi.compile()
