Open-source C++ library focused on bringing Python's methods to C++17 and higher
You can install cppy by simply extracting files from the include folder into your project directory
You can also install the library via CMake. Execute the following commands after cloning the repository and navigating into its root directory in the terminal:
Linux:
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
sudo make installWindows (using MinGW) (Run Powershell as administrator):
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -G "MinGW Makefiles" ..
cmake --build . --target This will install the library system-wide.
If you want to install the library locally, then change the parameter of CPPY_LOCAL_INSTALL to ON in CMakeLists.txt. All of the installed files will be located in /build/install/
After installing the library you include the header file cppy.h:
#include "cppy.h"If you want to include only a specific method (e.g. print), then use the following syntax: #include "cppy/function.h":
#include "cppy/print.h"
int main()
{
cppy::print("Hello World!");
}The following methods are currently supported by cppy:
| Method | Description | Status |
|---|---|---|
| abs() | Returns the absolute value of a number. | Already implemented in C/C++ |
| all() | Returns true all elements of the container are true, otherwise it returns false. | Implemented |
| any() | Returns true if atleast one of the element of the container is true, otherwise it returns false. | Implemented |
| ascii() | Returns a string with a printable representation of characters. | Implemented |
| bin() | Converts an integer to a binary string prefixed with "0b". | Implemented |
| boolean() | Returns the bool value of the input. If the input is a container, the function returns false if it's empty, otherwise it return true. | Implemented (renamed due to name conflicts) |

| chr() | Returns the string representing a character whose Unicode code point is the integer input. | Already implemented in C/C++ ( e.g. char c = 97; ) |
| classmethod() | Transforms a method into a class method. | Already implemented in C/C++ ( e.g. SomeClass::SomeFunction() ) |
| compile() | Returns the specified source as a code object, ready to be executed. | Not implemented |

| filter() | Constructs a container from those elements of the input for which function is true. | Implemented |
| floatp() | Returns a floating point number | Implemented (renamed due to name conflicts) |
| format() | Formats the input. | Implemented |
| frozenset() | Returns a constant set | Already implemented in C/C++ (const std::set) |

| hash() | Returns the hash value of the input. | Implemented |
| hex() | Converts an integer to a lowercase hexadecimal string prefixed with "0x" | Implemented |
| id() | Returns the id of an object | Already implemented in C/C++ (&) |
| input() | Reads the input and converts it into a string. | Implemented |
| integer() | Converts the input to an integer. | Implemented (renamed due to name conflicts) |
| isinstance() | Returns true if the object argument is an instance of the argument. Returns false otherwise. | Not implemented |
| issubclass() | Checks if a class is a subclass. | Implemented |
| iter() | Returns an iterable object. | Already implemented in C/C++ ( e.g. std::vector, std::list ) |
| len() | Returns the length of the input. | Implemented |
| list() | Returns a list object | Already implemented in C/C++ ( e.g. std::list ) |
| locals() | Returns an updated dictionary of the current local symbol table. | Not implemented |
| map() | Applies the function to every element of a container. | Implemented |
| max() | Returns the biggest object among all the parsed ones. | Implemented |
| memoryview() | Returns the memory address of the input. | Implemented |
| min() | Returns the smallest object among all the parsed ones. | Implemented |
| next() | Returns the next item in a container. | Not implemented |
| object() | Returns a new empty object | Not implemented (skipped) |
| oct() | Converts an integer to an octal string prefixed with "0o" | Implemented |
| open() | Opens a file | Already implemented in C/C++ ( e.g. FILE* or <fstream> ) |
| ord() | Returns the ASCII value of the input. | Implemented |
| pow() | Returns the base number to the power of another input. | Already implemented in C/C++ |
| print() | Prints objects. Sep, End, File, Flush, if present, must be parsed like structs before objects in any order. | Implemented |
| property() | Returns a property attribute | Not implemented |
| range() | Returns the vector of integers, going from start till stop. | Implemented |
| repr() | Returns a string containing a printable representation of an object. | Not implemented |
